Work Testimonials

“Lucinda Valentine was an outstanding, highly dependable contractor on my team for over two years. The whole team loved working with her, and I wanted to hire her as a regular employee but Google would have required her to move to Sunnyvale to work on site. With her broad set of design skills and strong technical acumen, Lucinda was able to handle all of the various disparate projects we threw at her. She managed to use Google’s kludgy proprietary tools to produce hundreds of interactive in-app training modules for admins and users of Google’s enterprise and edu products. She also managed localization in 8 languages, and when our Sales team told us two major international prospects needed us to add two additional languages to close their deals, Lucinda made it happen in record time. (The total value of those deals exceeded $200 million.)

Lucinda can do so many things really well, it’s like she’s a Swiss army knife with Wüsthof blades. She’s also one of the nicest and most dedicated coworkers you can find. I highly recommend her.” — Chris McGuire, Senior Manager, Technical Documentation at Google

“Lucinda is the absolute queen of localization, video production, and content management! For years she was an integral part of our team at Google, managing hundreds of interactive and video lessons, updating them, working through QA and localization pushes.” — Kevin Campbell, G Suite Training Program Manager, Google

“Lucinda is a stellar teammate with an energetic can-do work ethic. Her wide-ranging skillset provided our team with a consistently valuable set of tools, and her ability to jump into any project at any phase was an exceptional gift. Excellence and professionalism define Lucinda, and I highly recommend her.“ — Pamela May, President, CEO & Owner, Design Media

“Lucinda is an absolute joy to work with. Not only does she greet each day with a smile and a “can do” attitude, she has the talent, creativity and problem solving skills to back it up. I had the privilege of working with Lucinda for many years… she’s organized, effective and calm — even under stressful conditions. I recommend Lucinda without hesitation, she’s a wonderful addition to any team.” — Christie Walker, VP of Production, Navex Global

“Lucinda has the expertise to pull together bits of seemingly unrelated information and make sense of it all under tight deadlines. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Lucinda and working directly with her on projects for almost five years. Her accuracy under pressure is remarkable and her enthusiasm is infectious. Lucinda consistently values and gives credit to others for their contributions. Her positive interaction and genuine commitment to help others directly impacted our team’s chipper morale. Her workspace is as artistic and organized as she is. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.” — Pamela McCallum, Photo Researcher/ QA Tester, Navex Global

“I am getting GREAT responses from people about the website. It is great. I am really happy with the look of the site–actually, quite proud of it. My partner thinks it is amazing and so do I. Fantastic. I believe she said that you are SO talented and I agree with that as well. The design, the essence, the look and feel are exactly what I’m about; not nostalgic, just respectful of quality and excellence of prior eras. I really love it. I knew this project was in good hands. You are supremely talented and with vision. Again, thanks for everything. It’s been a pleasure working with you.” — Kevin Cartwright, President, Cartwright Media Group, LLC
