“Seshat’s one of those people who is as professional as she is personable. When we first met, I was doing research in her neighborhood. She was kind enough to connect me with other neighbors, and throughout the years, we’ve gotten to know each other. When I had the idea to collect survey data on the neighborhood, she told me that she had that idea, too....naturally, a collaboration was born. We collected survey data, and from the data, Seshat created these dope posters that showcased images from the neighborhood with quotes and statistics about food access. She’s also versatile. From that project, she was the first person I contacted about designing the cover for my forthcoming book. After being patient with me an the publisher, going back and forth on the design, we finally settled on a concept from which the publisher used a captivating image Seshat took as the focal point of the cover. I really hope I get to work with her again on future projects. Her heart for community and for building authentic relationships rings true in all she does. That, to me, is valuable in a world where some people who market themselves as creators forget the relational piece.”
