Job Titles:
  • Creative Director
  • Founder
  • President
Seneca's president and creative director, Anne-Marie Concepción, is a long-time Adobe Certified Independent Trainer. She and her associate trainers teach the Mac and Windows versions of InDesign, InCopy, Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, Macintosh OS X, Apple and Microsoft software - in other words, the software that she and staff use every day in the real world for real client projects. Seneca's founder, Anne-Marie Concepción, is a natural teacher. Her style is patient, relaxed, and informal, but always on-target and always with her signature sense of humor. She loves what she does and it shows. Think how much you'll learn from someone who's not just an expert user, but an expert teacher! With your new-found expertise, you'll find your own creativity unleashed on every project you undertake. Stuck on a problem? No worries: Anne-Marie includes three years of 24/7 follow-up support for every student. Anne-Marie spends half her worklife using the software, and the other half teaching it. And that's exactly how she likes it. She draws on her 25+ years of experience with design and publishing to teach in ways that a designer or production staffer immediately understand. Students learn not just how to use a program, but how to use it in combination with other software, and how to make it all come together for complex print, web, and mobile projects. Because Anne-Marie was a teacher in a former life (she has a master's degree in Education from Northwestern University), she paces her instruction to match each student's gradual mastery of each new skill, adapting her training to a variety of learning styles and backgrounds.
