"Samia enlivens and extends the meanings and imaginings of words, texts, data and transcripts  - the illustrated 'Feminism In Our Times' booklet is now a go-to classroom tool, with students and colleagues pausing on the pages and returning again to the varied, multiple and evocative images.  The Widening Participation postcard booklet occupies a similar place as a lively resource, and one in which students can recognise themselves in and respond to, as a more real, emotional and powerful connection than abstracted widening participation policies.  Whether it's creating a timeline of LGBTQI+ lives - as in one project  - or designing a poster for 'hard to reach' participants, or a book cover to match and capture the varied contents, Samia's creative energy and talent shines though: difficult issues are represented in their complexity, with great care and craft."

"Samia is a pleasure to work with, her creative and technical skills are exceptional. We worked together to produce a series of motion graphics around gender based violence data for United Nation Population Fund in Eastern Europe. Samia looked at the brief from several different angles, offering insightful solutions that brought the data to life to help engage different audiences. She was kind and professional in her approach. I thought her drawings were phenomenal."

"I was fortunate to be able to work with Samia on a collaborative illustrated short story project in 2020-2021. The project brought together academic researchers and practitioners/members from a domestic workers' rights organisation in Kolkata. Samia came on board at the workshop stage and truly helped bring our ideas and story to life. Samia is supremely talented and working with her was a brilliant, enriching experience for us all. Thank you Samia!"

"Samia has a special talent. You can describe a complex concept, and she knows just how to create powerful and engaging images. These images are more than visual interpretation, they actively aid the process of research and create new ways of seeing issues. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with, I’ve been lucky to have her insight not just illustrate some of my work, but illuminate my understanding. She is simply outstanding."
