Adobe Software and
Design Education Services

I am a PA Certified Art Teacher with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Education and have over 25 years of experience in the graphic design industry and education world.

I teach Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Photography to college students, continuing education students and professionals. My courses have been provided in person and online and can be operated completely live or with asynchronous content.

If you need someone to design a training class for your staff that is tailored to your industry or need some one-on-one personal training to really understand design software and composition principles, reach out to me and we can set up a class just for you!
