"For the past 14 years, I've been teaching students of all levels privately and in group classes how to use the graphic design software programs Adobe Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, and programming languages HTML and CSS. More importantly, I've also been assisting and guiding college students and professionals with their graphic and website design projects, assisted students with preparing their art and design portfolios, provide resume and career advice pertaining to the design industry, and helped failing students finish their project on time and pass the class with an A grade. I was born to teach.

Before I got into teaching, I spent over 20 years in the design industry both in Cincinnati, OH and Los Angeles, CA working with clients like Belkin, Disney, Fifth Third Bancorp, Mercedes, Porsche, RadNet, The NBC Agency/NBCUniversal, UCLA and more including multiple printers, ad agencies and design studios on their print and digital projects. I was also the most-sought out Production Artist in Los Angeles, CA and I made it my goal to complete all projects on-time, in budget and exceed client expectations. I also owned my own design studio, Schilling Design, for over 12 years in Los Angeles, CA working with multiple new and small businesses helping them to create an identity for their company with both print and website materials.

Many of my design pieces have been featured in magazines, billboards, bus stop ads, books, newspapers, websites, on television and more.

My education includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from the University of Kentucky and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Northern Kentucky University (President's and Honor's List recipient) along with extensive skills in all forms for art including drawing, painting, photography, and more.

My artwork has been in featured in solo and group exhibitions, art fairs, calendars, puzzles and more, and I was also commissioned to create several paintings." less...
