Graphic and Web Design Tutor for Aspiring Design Students

I'm a senior product designer and creative director with over 20 years working across graphic design, web/UI design and brand identity, including agency leadership roles and co-founding two design led businesses. I've hired, trained and mentored designers throughout my career and I know how to explain design thinking clearly, not just show finished work. I can help with anything from portfolio building and Adobe Creative Suite fundamentals, Figma and how to use AI tools in your workf low to the core design principles – typography, layout, branding, UX/UI and how to think like a working designer rather than just a student. Whether you're a beginner exploring design as a career, a student preparing a portfolio for university or job applications, or someone wanting to sharpen specific skills, I'll tailor sessions to what you actually need. Patient, practical teaching style – I'll give you honest feedback, not empty praise, because that's what actually improves your work.
