Meet the Instructors

You know how hard it was to learn Photoshop, InDesign, Flash and other design software. Our instructors don't just learn it, they've all passed rigorous certification exams in each of their specialty areas. That's step ONE. After they're awarded the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE), they must pass a comprehensive video, written and essay exam from CompTIA to earn their Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+) status. Only after that can they proudly sport the title of Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI). That's when the REALLY hard work begins! Our instructors contribute to technical/design publications, scour blogs, attend user groups, beta-test new versions of Adobe and Quark software, take on complex projects and immerse themselves in design software troubleshooting, just to stay ahead of smarties like YOU!

JAMES CONWAY

Brilliant, handsome and big brother to the other owner of C2, Jim is the brains of this operation.

Concepting new courses, honing class curriculum and mentoring C2's contract and full-time instructors fill his days, unless he's in the classroom dropping some knowledge on Wisconsin's savviest creatives. If JC isn't at C2, you'll find him behind a camera because photography is his passion.
