These triumphs are undoubtedly due to the talent and work ethic of Mary Kate Wright, as typified by her responsiveness, efficiency, and attention to detail.”
David M. Watumull, Cardax Pharmaceuticals, Aiea, Hawai’i
"I had the pleasure of working with Mary Kate while communications director at a medical society in Chicago. She produced the most amazingly detailed medical illustrations, exactly what I needed, for several patient education handouts. Her pricing was more than fair and she completed the illustrations on or ahead of schedule. Our printers (and then our physician members) commented on how rich in detail her illustrations were.”
Patti Davis, DAVIS MEDPR, Inc., Chicago, IL
“Mary Kate produced several high-quality medical illustrations for a medical text I was editing. She completed them on time and was very pleasant to work with. I would recommend her for any medical illustration need.”
Brian S. Loehr, Senior Content Development Specialist, Elsevier Health
“Mary Kate is a brilliant medical illustrator. She created several detailed illustrations for me over several book projects, and delivered works of exceptional quality each time. She checked back with me during every step of each project, so that the illustrations were exactly how I wanted them to be. All the illustrations Mary Kate created for me are published in medical textbooks. She delivers quality. She is great to work with. She is diligent and efficient! I wouldn’t work with any other medical illustrator.”
