    (12)
    I am here to help you succeed! Do you need to take on more graphics projects at work? Are you unsure of how to make Photoshop or Illustrator do what you need? I'm an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop and have taught Photoshop and Illustrator with infinite patience for over 15 years. I'm truly here to help everyone, including beginners. I can help you with problems an average Photoshop user can't answer, and I can help if you're a beginning Illustrator user. I've also been a professional photographer for over 20 years. Look online for my 470-page textbook called "Photo 1: An Introduction to the Art of Photography."

    I am a complete novice-- Katie was patient with my questions, catered to my experience level, and made sure to reference my intended application. I am 110% happy with Katie's teaching style and the confidence she gave me to work on my own.
