I have fifteen years teaching thousands page layout and design. I have worked every InDesign Beta. I use InDesign EVERY DAY for every kind of digital document. Please allow me to teach you InDesign. My gift is to make things simple. You will know and love InDesign after two days of training. I am very experienced with CMYK press publishing.

“Quick Start” Training for InDesign
It's easy to transition from any word processor or page layout application. You know more than you think.

CUSTOM Training for Your Company Workflow
All of my training is customized to your workflow. We use examples that best exemplify your day-to-day production. I teach to your environment.

How Long Do We Need for Training
I recommend two days of "Hands On" training workshops for memory retention and practice. Lecture only format seminars can easily be delivered in one day, but follow up hands practice is critical for success.
