Doina Paraschiv and I have been working together for several years. As president of Executive Training Concepts, Inc.,
a consulting firm, since 1981 (with up to 38 employees), I can assure you, I've dealt with many people.
Doina is the best - incredibly talented, wise, punctual, and oh so easy to work with - like butter.
Please feel free to call upon me at any time, should you require more specifics.
Sincerely,

I could not have done better than Doina Paraschiv for illustrations on my first book. Her experience, creativity and talent were
invaluable. She’s exceptionally skilled and knows the publishing process thoroughly. Doina completed the design and layout
so that the book only needed to be printed by my publisher. She absolutely brought my book to life and everyone who sees it
raves about the fantastic illustrations.
I look forward to working with Doina on future projects and highly recommend her.
My name is Dain F. Stokes, and I am the author of "Jumpy the Frog" children's book written under my pen name of Jake
Farrell. Doina Paraschiv illustrated the entire book, including the front and back cover. She did a simply wonderful job of
capturing the full essence of the book's characters and theme with her illustrations. I have had countless compliments from
readers on the magnificence of these illustrations, including Adam Sandler, who received two autographed books from myself
last December for his two daughters. Doina is a truly gifted artist, and works in a highly professional manner. She is punctual,
never missed a deadline (wish I could say the same for myself), and she walks with you through every step of the book
creating process. She did the book design and page layout with perfection! I have two more "Jumpy" books in production, and
Doina, hands down, will be the illustrator!
If I can be of any further service, please feel free to contact me at either: dainstokes@comcast.net
Most Sincerely,
Dain F. Stokes

To whom it may concern:
It is my great pleasure to refer Doina Paraschiv to anyone seeking a highly talented, skilled, and dedicated artist. The very
first thing people say when they open my book, All Children Have Different Eyes, is how striking and beautiful the
illustrations are. Because the book is a unique educational resource in the special education market, designing the characters
and every scene required great attention to detail and understanding of the cause, which Doina accomplished with enthusiasm
and patience.
I am not an artist and had no idea how to lay out a picture book, but Doina guided me every step of the way making layout and
design suggestions I would have never considered on my own. I am confident that her artistic design skills made the book
what it is today—a double award winner.
Please see the sample pages on my website at www.lowvisionkids.com as well as any pages that Doina would like to show
you. You may also contact me by phone or email at the contact info below.
Doina did an exceptional job for my first children's book. I received much personal attention and prompt help every step of the
way. My illustrations are amazing! I am now in pre-press production and I already found a literary agency willing to shop my
book around. I give Doina an A+ and I will certainly collaborate with her again.
Doina has engineered a plethora of projects for me having to do with book design and illustration, cover layout, typesetting,
posters and other unnamed projects. She has become a trusted publishing advisor through the years. When it comes to certain
tasks, there may be a revolving door of professionals I use, but Doina has been the one main constant since I launched my first
book in 2005. She's the epitome of a professional. Feel free to call me should you need more details.
