About Kathlyn


Bio

I began my Graphic Design studies in 2003 by accident: I took a Photoshop class because it sounded like fun, and the next thing I knew, I had taken all of the courses for a degree in Graphic Design and gotten straight As in every class!

Suddenly, I was a graphic designer with awards for poster art and packaging design and my own small business! I live daily in Illustrator and InDesign, and hop back and forth into Photoshop with ease. I love keyboard shortcuts, guides and the zoom tool,...

I began my Graphic Design studies in 2003 by accident: I took a Photoshop class because it sounded like fun, and the next thing I knew, I had taken all of the courses for a degree in Graphic Design and gotten straight As in every class!

Suddenly, I was a graphic designer with awards for poster art and packaging design and my own small business! I live daily in Illustrator and InDesign, and hop back and forth into Photoshop with ease. I love keyboard shortcuts, guides and the zoom tool, and I love communicating my enthusiasm for these software programs through teaching.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks!

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator

I live in Illustrator! I spend 4-6 hours a day in Illustrator and it's my favorite software program! I've used Illustrator to create award winning poster art, and the artwork for countless enamel lapel pins traded by everyone from Disneyphiles to Olympic sports enthusiasts. I processed the artwork for the Presidential Situation Room pin, and the Autism Speaks puzzle piece. Best of all, what I know, I can teach, and I love sharing tips and tricks with new people because I always learn new things myself.
Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign

I've been using InDesign since it started life as AppleText! I know this program inside and out, and teaching/learning it is a snap! InDesign is a layout program: the container into which graphics created in Illustrator and Photoshop come to life as an integral part of books, pamphlets and brochures. Any multi-page document will need to be created in InDesign, and having control over your text and graphic elements, while not difficult, requires careful set-up and application. I love this program, and I would love to teach it to you!
Graphic Design

Graphic Design

I have been a freelance and in-house graphic design professional for 10 plus years. I have an AA in graphic design and have won awards for poster art and package design. I am fluent in Adobe CS Illustrator and InDesign and extremely competent in Photoshop. I'm a patient teacher, full of tips and tricks, and I'm as eager to learn new things as I am to share what I know.

InDesign Expert and great listener who will help you get results

I wanted to convert a Word proposal into InDesign. Kathlyn is extremely patient, you can tell she loves to teach, listens well, she really took the time to understand what I was trying to do or where I was struggling and help me with answers and options, and is an InDesign expert, I really benefited from her deep knowledge and hands on experience working with the program. She helped me make good progress with my project, reviewing the basics and fundamentals like menus, tooks, panels, as we used that information to create the shell for the proposal. I hope to work with Kathlyn on the next phase of my project and highly recommend her for any InDesign project you have in mind.
