With 17 years of experience as a surface designer, my individual lessons are tailored to meet each student’s unique needs and creative aspirations. I understand that every designer has their own vision and pace of learning, so I prioritize a personalized approach that ensures you gain the most from each session.

Surface design is a multifaceted discipline, and mastering it requires both artistic skill and technical expertise. A significant part of our lessons will focus on using Photoshop, one of the most essential tools for surface designers. I’ll guide you step-by-step, from understanding the basics to employing advanced techniques, so you feel confident manipulating patterns, textures, and colors to bring your ideas to life.

In our sessions, we’ll also explore how to turn your inspiration into effective, marketable designs, while making sure to adapt the learning path to your interests and goals. Whether you’re looking to refine your existing skills or start from scratch, my goal is to support you in your creative journey, provide constructive feedback, and share industry insights I’ve accumulated over the years. We’ll dive into design principles, workflow optimization, and ways to streamline your creative process, ensuring you leave each lesson with practical, actionable knowledge. Additionally, Adobe Illustrator may also be taught as a tool for surface design, providing a robust vector-based approach for pattern creation. Together, we’ll transform your passion for surface design into professional-level expertise, all while ensuring the learning experience is enjoyable and rewarding.
