Bio
Kelly Maina
Alison always brought fresh, innovative ideas to the design and content of web-based training and learning experiences. Even when faced with tight deadlines, she delivered above and beyond client expectations, and was a pleasure to work on several projects. Her design and management skills are far superior to other providers I've worked with.

Endless creativity and innovative ideas come to mind when I think of Alison. I had the pleasure of working with Alison at Lootok and see her creativity help drive products built by Lootok to support it's clients. Alison worked magic into educational tools, Sharepoint-based products and services, and fun keynote presentations and games. Alison not only ensures that she is building great products but she takes every detail into account so that the products and services sell themselves and benefit the end users. During my travels with Alison, she also showed me that her creativity and passion not only live in her workspace but in her personal life as well - she is a fun and insightful person. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with her for three productive years and have learned quite a bit from our interactions.
