Michael exemplifies what it means to be a great co-worker. His dedication to delivering the highest level of customer service is truly exceptional. His expertise with development tools such as Adobe Captivate, Adobe Creative Cloud, Help & Manual, SnagIt, and Microsoft Office made him our go-to subject matter expert.

Michael takes the time to truly listen to clients, carefully gathering their training requirements and skillfully guiding them toward the best solutions for their needs. I highly recommend Michael as a key instructional designer and developer — a talented professional who consistently delivers excellence.

-Hillary Sheffer, Technology Business Analyst, Sr.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Starr for several years on numerous projects. Michael is a phenomenal asset to any team, particularly in training design and process development. His work ethic and attention to detail are second to none, ensuring every project he touches is delivered not only on time but with exceptional quality. He consistently acts as a superb team player, focusing on collaborative solutions. I highly recommend Michael to any organization looking for a professional who delivers reliable, high-impact work.

-Deb Hohn, Organizational Transformation Leader

Michael worked on my Workforce Development team within our Tech & Security organization for the past two years. Unfortunately due to layoffs that team was disbanded. Michael, in a word, is exceptional. He puts pride and effort into all his work and corresponding tasks.

He is simply the best when it comes to applying and leveraging everything in the Adobe suite of tools (Captivate, Premiere Pro, etc.). Michael creates wonderful videos, training guides, and various other project materials as needed.

He also supports the maintenance and operation of our Learning Management System (KEY). He has created much of the content for several courses and helps each business area administer them to the right associates and helps to track performance.

Michael would be an excellent addition to any team and/or project that would come his way.

-Amanda Samijlenko, MBA, MPM

Michael is the definition of “team player” and “aims to please”. As an Instructional Designer/Developer, Michael has used RoboHelp, Captivate, Articulate, DreamWeaver, Snag-it, Photoshop, the Microsoft Office Suite, and other tools to create training and build Performance Support environments on some of the largest and most complex training development/delivery projects ever deployed for our organization.

Michael typically worked on multiple projects simultaneously as well as with multiple communities of Subject Matter Experts on within a single project. This required Michael to manage a variety of deliverables, timelines, and requirements to meet his customers’ needs. Often, Michael worked with SMEs known for being very demanding. He also would work with SMEs whom had never participated in a project previously. Not only was Michael able to determine their requirements, he routinely exceeded their high expectations. Receiving glowing feedback regarding Michael’s performance, his positive attitude, and his willingness to go the extra mile was almost a weekly occurrence.

Michael also served as a Technical Writer for our organization. His writing and editing skills are outstanding. We engaged Michael to help develop and document standards and processes within our training organization. Michael works well on his own, but he thrives in a collaborative environment, contributing his own ideas and experience as well as helping to evolve the ideas and experience contributed by others. He is an excellent addition to any team.

-Elizabeth Condopoulos, PMP, PSM,
MA Training and Development

Michael is an excellent training developer and technical writer. I worked closely with Michael during an enterprise rollout of Asset Suite at American Electric Power. He is extremely proficient using Adobe Captivate, Dreamweaver, and Robohelp. Michael had an excellent working relationship with his customers, and they appreciated his efforts to develop top-notch training. Michael's positive attitude, and professionalism make him a wonderful addition to any team.

-Heather Juzenas, Vice President of
Marketing and Member Services

Michael has a successful history as a consultant working for me on several assignments at several companies. I have known him for over 12 years and he has delivered at every assignment I've placed him on. He is capable and conscientious, always putting the client's needs first. I would highly recommend him and will gladly work with him again.

-Pam Kerstetter, Vice President Sales

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael, and I can confidently say he is one of the most talented e-learning professionals I’ve met. His extensive experience in instructional design shows in every project. He brings clarity, creativity, and structure to every project, always keeping the learner’s experience at the center. Beyond his technical strengths, he is consistently kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team. I highly recommend him for any role in instructional design or e-learning development.
