Hi! I'm Julianne. I studied Graphic Communications at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and have over 20 years of experience working with graphic design, websites, and computer technology. My work includes web design, digital and print design, website administration, and technical troubleshooting. I have extensive experience with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver, as well as WordPress and other computer applications.

I've helped students learn design software, troubleshoot websites, complete school projects, and improve their existing work through one-on-one tutoring. I enjoy helping people understand how software works, not just showing them which buttons to click. Whether you're learning a new feature or trying to finish a project, I focus on what you actually need help with.

Before scheduling a lesson, I like to understand your project and where you're getting stuck. During our Zoom sessions, we'll work directly on your project together. With your permission, I use remote screen control to demonstrate features and explain the available options. I'll also give you opportunities to try similar tasks yourself so we can make sure you understand what you've learned.

I encourage students to stop me anytime if I'm going too fast, too slowly, or something isn't clear. I'd rather explain something again than have you spend time feeling lost. My goal is to help you solve your immediate problem while giving you the knowledge and confidence to continue working independently.

I teach what I know, not what I think I know. If something is outside my expertise, I'll tell you honestly.

Approved Subjects

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator

I started using Adobe Illustrator back in the late 1990s when it was called Illustrator 7. Many versions have been released since and new features introduced every time. As Adobe releases new versions, it is a necessity for me to keep up with the updates and its new features. I use Illustrator to create anything that is a vector graphic.
Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign

I've been working with the Adobe software when InDesign was at version 5, or CS3. Now, it is InDesign CC, so I have more than 10 years of experience with this software. I use InDesign for page layout concepts such as magazines, books, portfolio, or any multi-page projects.
Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

I started using Adobe Photoshop back in the mid 1990s when it was called Photoshop 2. Many versions have been released since and new features introduced every time. As Adobe releases new versions, it is a necessity for me to keep up with the updates and its new features. I use Photoshop to enhance pictures. My favorite Photoshop tool is the Pen Tool.
Desktop Publishing

Desktop Publishing

Back in the late 1990s, I used Adobe PageMaker and Quark XPress for Desktop Publishing. Functionality wise, Quark XPress was a better choice back then so I mostly use Quark XPress. Overtime, Adobe released InDesign and Acrobat and it made me switch back to use solely the Adobe Suite. You can use both InDesign and Acrobat for Desktop Publishing because each has its own unique features. You can design a 50-page software manual using InDesign and print out the hard copy as well as export a PDF soft copy. You can, then, use Acrobat to create internal links or even add videos within the PDF itself.
Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver

I started using Adobe Dreamweaver back in the mid 1990s when it was called Macromedia Dreamweaver 2. Many versions have been released since and new features introduced every time. As Adobe releases new versions, it is a necessity for me to keep up with the updates and its new features. I use Dreamweaver to create and manage responsive websites.
Graphic Design

Graphic Design

I was first introduced to Graphic Design back in the late 1990s. After experiencing it for a few years, I realized I have an aptitude in this art category. Because I have a passion for creativity and a keen eye for design, Graphic Design comes easily. Getting an education also helps me understand what to do and what not to do as well as what works and what doesn't.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I started using a Mac back in 1997. I have decades of experience with it. Currently, I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. I know all the keyboard shortcuts and even removing the hardware to replace batteries or upgrade drives. If you use an iPhone, you'll appreciate what a Mac can do for you!
Vietnamese

Vietnamese

Vietnamese was my first language and I still speak, read, and write it. I can type in Vietnamese with punctuations on either the computer or mobile devices. I have friends and family in Vietnam that I communicate on a daily basis, which help me improve more and more in speaking, reading, and writing. I also do freelance work in the Vietnamese community where I translate the Vietnamese documents such as birth or marriage certificates into English documents so they can be submitted to the USCIS.
Web Design

Web Design

My first introduction to web design was in the mid 1990s where there was the WYSIWYG programs such as Dreamweaver. I would first design my wireframe in Photoshop, create slices for my images, buttons, etc, and export those slices to use in Dreamweaver. In Dreamweaver, I would use tables to create my layout. Then moving on to the CSS years, and then the HTML5 years, and here we are now in the responsive design years.

Highly recommended!

Julian was able to fit me in on the same day and was incredibly patient and thorough. I needed a lot of help improving my skills in InDesign and working out design issues for a book I was creating. Julian has an excellent eye for design and was meticulous about details, ensuring I understood the reasons behind each instruction. We spent three hours going through techniques and examples in depth, and I left feeling more confident and equipped thanks to Julian’s patience and skill. If you are looking to become proficient in AI, this is your person!

Amazing Tutor!

Less than a minute after connecting on Zoom I knew Julianne understood what I needed. Not coding lessons. Not design advice. Not "you really should try WordPress". My Wyzant request was for help connecting my Dreamweaver site to the host, and she got straight to it. Thirty minutes later my issue was solved. Julianne is intelligent, communicative, efficient and affable. For any future needs, she's my "go to". I highly recommend.

Jim, 2 lessons with Julianne

Julianne was very patient and thorough.

She quickly identified problems and addressed them head on. She tirelessly worked through all my issues with respect and without frustration. Amazing energy. I would recommend her for students and pros. She has a unique way of looking at problems.

Perfect consultant

Julienne was super knowledgeable in an older version on Dreamweaver website editor, pleasantly assisting me in fixing issues I had with my website. A superb teacher too! A+ help.

SzulcLarry, 2 lessons with Julianne

Initial Lesson

I came to the session with lots and lots of questions; I needed to jump from topic to topic. Julian was extremely accommodating and allowed me to forgo any specific lesson sequence. Julian really met my learning needs.

Robert, 2 lessons with Julianne

Caring for student

Julianne is a very caring tutor. Her main goal is always to find different ways to help my son in stead of just “ getting a business done.” I’ll definitely reach out for Julianne for future lessons.

Monica, 1 lesson with Julianne

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Julian has a lot of knowledge of the subject she was helping me with. She is patient and made sure I was understanding. She shared with me many keyboards shortcuts so I could use my time in a more efficient way. I strongly recommend Julian!

Martha, 6 lessons with Julianne

Helpful and friendly!

Julianna was very quick to respond to my messages. We set up a tutoring session same day! She was able to explain how to fix the issues I was having, and did so in a very easy to understand way. I will definitely use her in the future!!

Jeanetta , 1 lesson with Julianne

Patient and Creative Graphic Design Tutor

Julianne helped me do a dreamweaver website assignment. She took me through the whole process of making a website from designing it on photoshop to bringing it to life in Dreamweaver. I am a novice at Photoshop and Dreamweaver Julianne was so patient and encouraging with me. She wants you to walk away from a lesson feeling like you learned not only graphic design skills, but helpful computer short cuts that you will use every day. Definitely contact Julianne for all of your graphic design needs!

Excellent work on my broken website

Excellent work on my broken website. Hope the following meets your 160-character requirement. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or
