So, I went ahead and created everything with you in mind.
My courses aren'tmade by someone with decades of experience who has forgotten what it was like to be a newbie and learned digital marketing and designin the era of Myspace and Microsoft Paint. They're made by someone who knows exactly what it's like to be trying to master 20 tools at once and stay on top of constant updates with each of them.
As a location independent freelancer, I have travelled all over while working from my laptop. My online skills have led to working with an exciting range of talented people, from sole traders to multi-million dollar businesses. Some of my freelance clients have been featured inThe Huffington Post,ProBlogger,The Sydney Morning HeraldandCosmopolitan, just to name a few.
My teaching style is conversational, incredibly hands-on, and focused onaccommodating different learning styles.

The meaning of colours could have been more in depth - and be a part of the worksheet. As well as the different sites with the colorgenerators.
