“Thanks for helping us get to the crux of what we wanted to say. I’m really proud of what we’ve produced.”

Lisette has a long-time collaboration with Luc Design, a graphic design and branding studio, with whom she has developed successful illustrated and non-fiction books, as well as exciting animated e-books in English and in te reo Māori.
Together Dash and Luc can offer a full publishing service, taking a book project from concept right through to final product.
“Our read-along, animated ebook was created by publishing and design experts Lisette and Dylan du Plessis.
The duo [transformed] gorgeous illustrations into exciting, fun animations that delight and engage young minds.”
