Hello! I am a communications professional with a Master's degree in Publications Design from the University of Baltimore and have 30 years of graphic design experience in the magazine, non-profit and healthcare space. I would love to help future designers develop their creativity and skills for a successful career. I use the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat) and can help students and professionals better understand and use those tools. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where creativity flourishes and students feel empowered to express their artistic visions. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring lessons to their individual interests and goals, ensuring that they not only grasp the technical aspects of the software but also develop their unique style. I am motivated by witnessing my students' growth and confidence as they navigate the world of design, and I am excited to inspire the next generation of creative thinkers.
