"I have over 20 years of experience in the creative and marketing fields on both the agency and client side of the equation. I've taught several courses at the college level for design related software (Adobe Suite) including Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. It's very rewarding for me to take my decades of experience and apply it to those considering entering the field of creative work. I blend my teaching of the fundamentals with real world experience to provide a more holistic view of the tutoring subject matter.

One of the key aspects of learning the "art" of design is understanding the role as a lead creative person from a business standpoint as well as a technician standpoint. The two are quite dependent on each other to achieve the desired end result. Just knowing the software isn't enough. One needs to also understand how to effectively and efficiently use their talent and tools to sell their work to clients.

I've taught several courses at the college level including: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Crash Course in Design Software, Online Marketing, and Small Business Marketing. I bring a unique perspective to the design software lessons with a real world focus, since it's the business I'm currently in. Specialize in Mac based programs.
