About Jane

Bio

I have been working successfully as a graphic designer for more than 25 years. For the last 15 years I have been teaching Graphic Design and Digital Photography to high school students, and helping some of them get started with careers in both fields. My favorite program is Photoshop, but I also love Illustrator. I am fluent with InDesign and Quark as well.

I have been working successfully as a graphic designer for more than 25 years.

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Quark XPress, Powerpoint

I have helped students develop advanced skills in the Adobe programs.

I can teach you how to become a better designer. Whether you are considering a career in the field of Graphic Design, or would like to be able to function as a designer for your own needs, I can help you get there. You do not have to be a natural-born artist to become successful in the field, but you do need to understand the roles of typography, color, and position.

Would you like to learn how to take better photos on your digital camera? I can help with that as well.
