Academy Class instructor for design

Since 1997 I've worked as a trainer alongside my design work, and have taught thousands of people how to use creative software like InDesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom. I enjoy both the challenge of getting a group of complete beginners competent and confident very quickly, and also the different task of tailoring a very specific course to a single person so they can learn or enhance the particular skills they need. I've greatly enjoyed watching people develop their skills and in particular their creativity.
