We will start by getting to know one another a bit so I can gain a clear idea of what you are hoping to gain from our sessions. Whether it be an intro to a software or taking developing a full start to finish project.

About Etana H.

4.9
(205)
Hi! My name is Etana, M.S. I am a detail-oriented, self-starting designer with 16 years of professional experience under my belt. From print to web, design is not simply what I do for a living, it is my passion. I run a Tempe, Arizona based business called SocietyJazz = ‘Society’ as in the totality of people and ‘Jazz’ as in all that stuff. Society Jazz brings together my core concepts: People .Passions . Environments. I bring this philosophy into my teaching method: I believe that each person is uniquely different so therefore their love/passion in life and how they bring it into the world is their own. I use this philosophy to create unique lessons based on you, how you learn and what you want to learn. There isn't a creative challenge I won't take on with you no matter your experience level. My greatest joy is to share my passion of Design with you.

Etana is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher. She is very patient and has the ability to customize the learning to meet the needs of the students. I have been taking lessons with Etana for almost a year and I learn something new every lesson! She has made me enjoy Adobe Illustrator and my confidence with learning programs has greatly increased.

I have had I few lessons with Etana and HIGHLY recommend her. Her knowledge in Adobe photoshop and illustrator is vast. She has a way of explaining that easy to understand. She is patient and attentive, I feel lucky to have found her. I plan to continue learning with Etana and look forward to my lessons . Noreen
