| Testimonials :: Bob Isleib - RLI Electric, LLC - Durham, CT / class of 2009 Julie, thanks again for passing my message along to Jan. Once again she got right back to me. I did want to thank you and Jan for the timely responses on everything. Especially, I would like to pass a note of thanks along to Jan. Not only the fact that someone with her crazy schedule can find time to correspond with me but the fact that she seems to do it happily. Additionally, the fact that both her and George took the time out of their weekend to give me AND my friend a tour of their place was going way beyond the call. The major downside to that visit, it has me really counting the days until the class. As you know, the state of the economy has a lot of people nervous, not only making a large purchase but also the fact that they have buyers regret after the fact. I was definitely in that group but Jan has already alleviated that nervousness and I haven’t even been to the class yet. It is in the gestures like returning a phone call to someone that hasn’t taken the class, that you can see why Jan is in a league by herself. I try to provide my customers the same service and for that matter people in general. This is one of the major differences (I think) between companies that are doing well and companies that may not be. That consistency is what really makes a person or a customer/client for that matter become not just satisfied but actually excited to do business with you. Thanks again and see you soon. :: Oscar Welch - Welch Creative Lighting - Windermere, FL / class of 2008 Jan & Team, I cannot stop thinking about the marvelous time I had at the Institute. It’s nearly impossible to describe it to someone. So full of ideas and inspiration in every session, WOW! It had challenges for each of us and at the same time so much positive reinforcement, you couldn’t help leaving thinking you have grown, a lot. The lexicon for design, installation, and focusing we learned by listening to you use this language in context is priceless. The collegial interaction for people of all backgrounds and wattages is another important way to learn and help others. I have been around a few unbeatable teams in my life, been fortunate to have built a couple, your team spirit is tremendous and very contagious. There are few opportunities to spend an entire week, day and night with the person at the top of your chosen profession. The week we spent with Jan and her carefully selected faculty members elevated my knowledge of lighting of course. The real benefit to me was the confidence I gained in using some of the ideas I have floating about in my head. Jan is patient, deeply informative, and motivational, she is the best and now I know why. Jan Moyer cares about the profession for which she has great passion. We are all fortunate she offers the Landscape Lighting Institute as a way to help elevate our profession. She is a bright star! I can’t wait for the advanced course if she decides to create one. :: John Pletcher - Natural Accents - Kansas City, KS / class of 2008 The LLI came at just the right time in my lighting design career. To study with Jan Moyer and be with other lighting designers in the LLI setting was such an inspiration to take my passion for the art of lighting to the next level. Since the LLI my lighting designs are superior in every aspect and my design business has grown through a down economy. I would highly recommend the experience of the LLI to anyone serious about landscape lighting design. :: Jesse Loucks - JL Lighting Design, LLC - Sharon, CT / class of 2008 After first meeting Jan Moyer at a landscape lighting conference in Georgia, I decided to enroll in the Landscape Lighting Institute (LLI). There are no “trade secrets” with Jan. She is forthcoming and transparent with her experiences as a landscape lighting designer, and she willfully passes on this knowledge during the intensive 5-day course. The opportunity to experiment with virtually any landscape lighting fixture was invaluable. However, sharing experiences and working knowledge with roughly 20 like-minded professions for 5 days was the highlight. I am still in contact with people from my class and their input has been tremendous. Most important, Jan has been perhaps the most encouraging and supportive force in this formative period of my career. Every project has benefited from the lessons learned and the contacts established at the LLI. :: Rick Dekeyser - Blue Island, Inc. - Key West, FL / class of 2007 Jan's class was the one greatest event that has changed my career. I will gladly tell everyone. Life is much more exciting since my visit to Dog Park. The ideas, creativity, and possibilities are around every corner now. Please tell Jan THANKS. :: Unknown class participant - class of 2002 I will have to say, I took more away from Jan Moyer's class was more than I had ever expected. The course is heavy in design concepts with some technical stuff thrown in along with documentation ideas. Every subject was presented with a projected presentation that keep me on the edge of my seat. Mrs. Moyer is a true educator and mentor if you ever get the chance to be around her. She talked lighting the whole time: class room, breaks, meals, and even late into the evenings with us in the hotel lobby. I will have to say I recommend the course if your involved in Landscape Lighting at any level. I only have two problems now though, being able to show the clients what Landscape Lighting really can look like when they have estimates that are half mine. Jan Moyer said to focus on smaller areas to fit the budget instead of compromising your design. The second problem was I was so fired up from the education stand point I was ready to go back and get my masters in lighting at RPI. If you ever get the chance to study under Jan Moyer the experience is priceless. :: Pete Jackson - Philadelphia, PA / class of 2008 THANK YOU. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from such a unique soul. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and experience. You have expanded my thoughts and my thought process on far more than lighting design. I have read this many times " after talent and passion, your success is dictated by the people you surround yourself with". Your group of wonderful instructors and staff, were willing to go above and beyond to help a (strange) fellow lighting designer elevate all areas of their business and craft. You would no doubt be a success if it were only you, but having a team like you do, makes the journey that much more successful and enjoyable. I just want you to know that I took your class very seriously and that I really appreciated the time and energy you and your staff gave to the class. |
