CLIENT FEEDBACK

Andrew Moir Headshot

I’d like to thank Linkage Design for their recent Alias SUB-D training at Pier 9 in San Diego. Michael Sagan was a great host, and Brandon, the trainer, knew his stuff and managed the different levels of students in the class well. It was a special treat having a member of the Alias development team there and getting a tour of Pier 9. I highly recommend it.

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Advanced Alias Training from Linkage Design. I want to thank Tim Smith and the Linkage team for allowing me to participate in this opportunity! It made me dig deeper into Alias and gain a better understanding of the details and processes that go into making a beautiful surface.
