Learn Graphic Design from an
Experienced Designer and Educator

With over 15 years of experience teaching graphic design, I have helped students develop the creative and technical skills needed to succeed in today’s design industry. My instruction combines design fundamentals with hands-on, project-based learning, covering essential topics such as color theory, composition, typography, branding, digital illustration, and visual communication.

Students gain practical experience using industry-standard Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, while creating professional-quality projects that reflect real-world design challenges. Whether you are a high school student exploring a future in design, a college student building your creative portfolio, or an adult learner looking to develop new skills or advance your career, I will design a curriculum that is designed to meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals.

A strong emphasis is placed on portfolio development, ensuring that students leave with a collection of work suitable for college admissions, internships, freelance opportunities, or entry-level positions in the creative field. Beyond learning software and design techniques, students develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, and visual communication skills that are essential for success in graphic design and related creative professions.
