Professional, timely, highly communicative, and responsive to feedback, Guiyong provided an overall excellent experience and painting. I would highly recommend her for any projects you are considering.

Mattew Ling,

Brilliant Stobie Mural. Bold colours, definite forms. Overwhelmed with the design, replication on the stobie pole. In addition to the above, the 100 plus % of ZhuZhu's attention to my vague ideas and implementing them to create such a wonderful piece of work. ZhuZhu's ideas and craftmanship were way beyond my expectations. I hope ZhuZhu's artistry receives greater acknowledgement and more people realize her great skills. I highly recommend ZhuZhu for her skills and professionalism. An outstanding piece of work accompanied with an extremely professional attitude.

We want to thank Zhuzhu for the fantastic artwork she created for our restaurant. The mural has truly transformed our space and created a wonderful atmosphere that both we and our customers love. Zhuzhu worked continuously for more than two weeks to complete this project, accommodating our trading hours by coming in after lunch service and working until the shopping center closed. Despite these challenges, she remained professional and helpful throughout, from the design phase to the final touches. We highly recommend Zhuzhu to anyone looking to add a mural to their space. Her dedication and talent are truly exceptional.
