“I’ve directed 30 films to date and employed over a hundred different storyboard artists through the years. I can easily say Rita Lichtwardt is among my best. She grasps the director’s intent very quickly and has the great gift of visualizing in #2 lead with graphic clarity,  dynamic angles, and a lively style. She is that rare artist–both fast and good– who radiates her intent to deliver perfection from the first meeting to the approval of the final board.”

“I hired Rita to create iconic fashion illustrations to represent the holiday season. Rita was very easy to work with and maintained a positive and enthusiastic attitude throughout the entire project. She had a great sense and interpretation of my ideas. The final illustrations far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire Rita again.

“Rita is an incredibly talented as an illustrator. She came in, we briefed her on a very particular style (client needed) and she nailed it. One of her strengths as well is her ability to one up the initial thumbnails by contributing to the conversation as to what elements and content should be in the final illustration, as well as from what angle should the scene, within the illustration, be seen from. Quick. Fun to work with. And skilled at her craft. Look forward to bringing her in for another project down the road.”June 18, 2010
