"I've been a multimedia visual design tutor on Wyzant since 2014, and I love it!

As a production and communications artist with 15+ years of experience, I specialize in tutoring graphic design, illustration, concept art, photo editing, vector graphics, motion graphics animation, video editing and production using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere, and other Adobe Creative Cloud applications. I also tutor essential technology skills, like Mac and PC, email, web browsers, and file organization. I use Microsoft Office as well as Google Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides, etc.

Located in North Carolina, I graduated high school in 2004 (Summa Cum Laude) and went to college at Appalachian State University (Music Industry Studies). After two years at ASU, I realized music industry wasn't for me, so I took a break from school until 2008. I transferred to East Carolina University's School of Art and Design and graduated December 2014 with a BFA in Animation & Interactive Design. I am a Certified Zendesk Customer Service Professional with an intuitive talent for user experience, and additional certifications in UX/UI, User Interface Design, Typography, and Agile Methodologies.

If you want a unique and fun tutoring experience, I'm your guy! I tailor my teaching methods to each individual's needs, guiding students to efficiently solve unique art and design problems while gaining confidence and proficiency. Because some students are stronger at audio-visual learning and others are better at logic, reading, and memorization, I'm dedicated to finding the best way to help you learn.

Additionally, I have had the challenge of navigating life with ADHD, so I understand how hard it is to focus when lessons are boring or tedious. I want to help you find something meaningful and useful in our lessons and remind you that you've got what it takes to master anything you put your mind to. We'll get creative and build upon your existing skills, talents, and interests to expand your knowledge!" less...
