"I’m a professional Animator & Graphic Designer with 20+ years of real-world experience and formal training—A.A. in Art and a B.A. in Graphic Design & Animation. I’ve worked with brands, nonprofits, and schools, and I regularly speak with high school students about how effective design and animation can be applied to the real world, and how to take exact steps to apply these skills to any project. In those sessions I also tutor live, demonstrating my creative process from blank page to finished projects.

My tutoring is fun, and encouraging. We’ll focus on fundamentals and build toward portfolio-ready work:

• Design: layout, typography, color, composition, branding

• Animation: Storyboard, Character sketching, Keyframing, Video Editing

• Software: Adobe Photoshop, Animate, Illustrator (as needed)

You’ll get clear, step-by-step lessons tailored to your goals (beginner to advanced). And you'll also get hands-on critiques that make your work stronger right away.

Whether you’re a student preparing for college, a teacher looking for help in the classroom, or a creator trying to enhance your skills, I’ll meet you where you are and make the next step feel simple and achievable. Sessions can include screen-sharing demos, guided exercises, and actionable homework so you keep getting better between lessons.

If you are ready to turn your ideas into finished layouts and animation, then I am ready to work with you." less...
