I love helping students realize their full potential, and turn their interests and passions into strong skillsets and careers.
I have worked in the creative media industry for almost 15 years, and have dabbled in virtually every art and design form out there. From hand-illustrating logos to creating websites for global brands, I know what it takes to succeed as a graphic designer, a freelancer, and a business owner.
I am passionate about helping others find success doing what they love I have spent time in community college classrooms as well as teaching over 100,000 students online on several different platforms. I have taught photography, web design, graphic design principles, and more.
Students that enroll in my Udemy courses have access not just to my course materials, but to myself and my team as well. Online education can be a tricky thing, since everything happens virtually, with no in-person communication or guidance. I am committed to helping my students get the help they need to find success no matter what course they are enrolled in!
My Professional Experience:
I have spent my entire career in the creative arts and marketing sector. Starting back as early as high school where I turned homework into paying gigs, my love for all things art and technology-driven has only continued to grow. I had the opportunity to work with brands such as MTV, Nintendo, and Netflix while employed as an intern for Seven 2 Inte
