"Famous Artist. Yes, that was my professional goal when I was a child. So when you first look at my profile, you might be surprised to see that my educational background is in the sciences. But, wherever my path has taken me, I have been able to incorporate various aspects of art/design/illustration/scientific illustration into all of the jobs I have had.

Starting in 2005, I was employed as a Software Trainer/Support Specialist for Clemson University. For over 12 years, I have specialized in showing people how to use the Adobe CC Programs for many purposes. For example, I often helped our Grad Students and Profs learn how to illustrate their research for conference posters/scientific papers. I also love developing cross-program solutions in situations where one software program is not sufficient. Additionally, I created and taught a credit class, Digital Design (PS, AI, ID) for 10+ years.

Although I retired from my training and Instructor position several years ago, I have continued using and teaching Adobe (and other) digital design tools. I would love to be able to teach YOU how to use these programs with training customized to your specific needs.

So, if you:

- have some experience but have a complex issue or a specific problem that has you stuck, I can help.

- are a novice/want general tutoring, I can help.

EXAMPLES:

- Intro/Complex lessons: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign

- Intro lessons: Acrobat Pro (PDFs), Wondershare Filmora (basic video editing, lesson building, video tutorials, etc.)

OR, if you have a specific issue but don't have time to meet, I can create a recorded "how-to" lesson based on what you need to learn.

RECENT STUDENT PROJECTS: Scientific figures, illustrations, logos, graphic design elements, quilting patterns, seamless repeating fabric patterns, custom brushes, animations, fillable forms, banners, print and ebooks, short videos, and more." less...
