Here are a few comments from recent seminar attendees, coaching clients, and customers:
“I attended your session at the HOW conference on prepress and thought it was fantastic! I appreciate your humor and love how you find a way to weave it into your work. I've been a designer for 8 years now and it still amazes me how fast technologies change and how much effort it takes to keep up. The information I absorbed at your session made me feel confident that I'm right along with the times.” — Shawna Heide, Edmonton, AB, Canada
“It is not enough to say that Claudia McCue is an InDesign expert. It is her teaching approach which makes a real difference. Whether one-on-one or in front of a crowd of 500, Claudia brings a level of comfort that is truly admirable. You quickly get the impression that Claudia is "just one of us" without a trace a condescension, all while she imparts great knowledge with gentle humor. As both a trainer and a trainee, I find this truly admirable.” — Ray Robertson, Atlanta, GA
“It's really difficult for me to say that there was only one "Aha!" moment. It's rare when I attend a seminar and find SO many things helpful to me. I just thought it was fantastic!” — Jennifer, Upper Marlboro, MD
“I want to begin by thanking you for your help in solving our printing ‘bugs’ — using your suggestions I solved the crazy printing problems we were having. You're the bomb!” — Melinda Scott, Atlanta, GA
