Being able to use Photoshop opened a whole new world up for me and it can for you too. Ranging from physical design, such as posters, flyers or book covers to digitial design used for social media posts or video thumbnails, Photoshop is an amazing skill to have under your belt.

Having a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design as well as industry experience, I would love to show people secret methods and tools which have allowed me to create the work that I do. If there are any design inspirations you have that you'd like to try and replicate or you just want to create basic designs, I can definitely help.
