1-on-1 Coaching
Coaching is one of the best investments you can make in your career, so I’m excited to announce that I now offer 1-on-1 coaching through Skillshare.com.
Unlike popular (and pricey) online courses that offer a one-size-fits-all curriculum, the beauty of coaching is that each session is tailored just for you.
With a Fine Arts degree and decades of experience as a creative professional and entrepreneur, I offer the same level of expertise as well-known instructors, with the added benefit of giving you personalized support and guidance, so you get exactly what you need, when you need it. That makes coaching a great value.
So, whether you’re interested in a single session or ongoing weekly or monthly sessions, I'm here to support and guide you on your creative journey.
“Amazing! Hands-down the best teacher I have come across. Enough Said!” — M. King
“I truly appreciate the time you took to look at my sites before the meeting and give me such valuable feedback. I felt like our time was so well spent. Your advice, knowledge and insight is priceless.” — Karen Soleau
Coaching Options
In this one-hour session you'll get constructive (but gentle) feedback on your artwork plus the opportunity to ask questions about surface design and the art licensing industry.
What to Expect
Before the meeting, I'll review your work and then together we'll identify your strengths and areas for growth. The session is flexible and tailored to your needs — whether it's delving into design fundamentals, exploring color, or figuring out the ideal product categories for your work. You’re also welcome to ask questions about pricing, pitching, trade shows, licensing contracts and any other aspect of surface design.
The Result
You'll come away feeling energized, with a clearer understanding where you should focus your time and effort. Plus, you’ll feel more prepared and confident knowing you’re taking your creative business in the right direction.
Whether you're looking for a one-time coaching session or an ongoing opportunity for feedback, I'm here to support your creative journey.

Would you like help learning Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop? Get personalized instruction in this 30-minute session. We can cover the basics, or focus on advanced techniques and workflows, or troubleshoot any specific problems you're having.
What to Expect
When you book your session, you’ll be asked a couple questions about your experience level and whether you’d like to focus on Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (or both). During our call, I’ll share my screen and demonstrate the tools and techniques you’re interested in. Or, if you prefer, you can share your screen and I’ll coach you through the steps as you go. Either way, you’ll get the most personalized learning experience possible and the opportunity to ask questions in real time.
Areas of Expertise
My expertise in Illustrator includes drawing natively with pen, pencil, and paintbrush tools, using image trace, creating repeat patterns — including the pattern tool, working with color, and preparing files for production.
In Photoshop, I specialize in product mockups, so my expertise includes retouching, color-correction, using selection tools, smart objects, layer masks, distortion techniques, and preparing files for production.
The Result
You’ll save so much time and frustration getting instruction that perfectly suits your needs.
