Sharon has trained me both on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop on courses that have been written and conducted by her personally. Sharon’s ability to make one feel comfortable using a software program that is as complex and Adobe’s Creative Suite is a testimony alone to her incredible abilities as both a trainer and designer.
New to graphic design, I was made to feel relaxed and open to ask as many questions as I could to which I received relevant and supportive answers to. Sharon is energetic, motivated, extremely proficient as a trainer and an expert designer who I hope to work more with in the future on projects. I have already signed up for her InDesign course next month and have a new found confidence using the Suite all thanks to Sharon.
I have been working with Sharon since February 2015. She has not only completely re-branded the company, developed new communication platforms but also devised and implemented new business strategies, which has enabled us to compete more effectively in our market place and keep our finger on the pulse with continual new business opportunities.
She has vast amount of experience and knowledge about design and marketing which has already had an effect on the company with new customers coming on board, from our business to business and business to consumers markets. Her design work and collaborative attitude is exemplary. I have received numerous compliments from clients about the sharp new look Sharon has bestowed on the company and also the efficacy implemented in our internal management systems she developed with ourselves. She is incredibly thorough and leaves no stone unturned in her search for the right answer to every problem which arises.
I recently commissioned Sharon for a rebranding project. Her approach to working is about being in complete unison with the client, from brief, to concept stages, to final delivery. Everything she does is with ‘collaboration’ in mind and as the client I felt 100% a part of her design process and what was being produced. As a result our flagship service has a strong, statement making, versatile identity for today’s market which has been brilliantly received by our board, staff and clientele.
Sharon has a knack for really getting under the skin of the brief. Her sharp, objective instinct identified requirements I hadn’t even thought of. Put this with her design expertise and passion for aesthetics, Sharon is a design project’s dream. Absolutely recommended.
I feel very lucky to have met Sharon on a professional level. I have completed her 4 day one-on-one Intro to Graphic Design Course and I am thrilled to have done so. I feel my business has benefited immensely through completing this course and I am producing high quality, thought through work which has helped round off the sharp corners of my marketing efforts and I have a well thought out, consistent brand taking shape as a direct result of Sharon’s tuition. I am amazed I am producing such professional looking art work in such a short space of time from a standing start.
Sharon’s enthusiasm is infectious and her knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite is very deep and rich, no question has gone unanswered. I feel she has listened to my needs and tailored the course accordingly running through things that are very relevant and omitting those things it was apparent I was already comfortable with, or not applicable. As a busy, time poor business owner this approach has been worth every penny.
Sharon has been a breath of fresh air that’s given me confidence to go to places with my marketing efforts I never would have had the balls to do. I feel this course has empowered me in so many ways.
I can’t recommend Sharon, and this course, highly enough.
I have been lucky enough to train with Sharon on various occasions and have sent my staff to train directly with her also. Sharon is amazing at what she does. What this lady doesn’t know about Adobe Creative Suite, frankly isn’t even worth knowing (and she probably knows everything anyway)!! The courses are energetic, yet well paced. Sharon is lively but leaves nothing out and is happy to answer questions as you go along and teach you what you need to immediately begin work on your own projects.
This is not a dull 101 tour of the software! The advice is practical and is based on years of professional experience in the creative field. You’ll leave having been entertained and enthused and with boundless confidence. Sharon’s passion means she very often goes well beyond the minimum requirements; such is her love of her craft. She has been happy to support me and answer my questions even after I have finished her course(s). This is real dedication!
I’ve left Sharon’s courses with a wealth of knowledge that took me to the next level within my professional requirements but also the encouragement to begin my own personal projects. I also left her courses with a friend! I’d recommend Sharon as one of the best trainers I have ever come across and consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn with her.
I participated in three of Sharon’s courses - Beginner Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator - and I still remember them very positively. Sharon is very knowledgeable and also keeps up-to-date with latest trends and technologies. She has the ability to maintain a great balance between teaching a large group of people effectively and taking enough time to focus on individuals and answer everyone’s questions. As an industry professional, she knows about the software problems participants experience in their everyday life’s and provides plenty of useful tips and short cuts to help eliminating these.
I had booked all three courses in a row, which meant that I had to digest a huge amount of knowledge in a short period of time. However, Sharon’s engaging, dynamic and humorous personality made it easy to listen and concentrate on the course at all times. I finished my ‘course marathon’ feeling empowered to create flyers, amend pictures, etc. without any further help from my colleagues. Great new skills for my current role and my professional future!
