“Over the last couple of years, ESA has emphasized more visually impactful proposal development, and Julie Shaffer has been our partner along the way. Her trainings around the importance of graphic design and layout have turned the heads of team members who had previously not put as much emphasis on this part of proposal development. She also developed a completely new, user-friendly InDesign proposal template and user guide for us, incorporating bells and whistles many of our team hadn’t even seen before. In fact, Julie’s mastery of the program is evidenced by beginner InDesign users diving in and delivering proposals within a matter of weeks of the template being completed! We are thrilled with the direction our marketing and graphics efforts are moving towards, and it simply would not have been possible without Julie on our team. She’s a pleasure to work with, and I can’t wait for our next project together.

Thank you thank you thank you, Julie!”

“Julie has helped us to develop proposals over the past year. I admire Julie’s ability to make InDesign workflows efficient by doing something once and then keep reusing them throughout the proposal development. I was most interested in learning how Julie did this and enrolled in her Intermediate InDesign class. I walked away with a treasure box full of Julie’s shortcuts and tricks, which will make me more efficient when using InDesign.”

“After initially engaging Shaffer Creative for strategic proposal development, we also discovered their strengths in additional marketing/communication services for Southland’s rebrand including creative design, strategic positioning, new brand standards, and collateral design. These combined efforts have yielded award-winning results with significant impact to our company footprint – bidding size has increased by 100 percent, bonding capacity has doubled, and teaming invitations have increased by 32 percent.”

“Julie did a great job at meeting everyone at their own level. Even though it was a beginner class, beginner means different things for different people. She had the skill and patience to make it understandable for everyone around the table.”
