👩‍🎨 ABOUT ME

I’m Erin, a graphic designer and educator. I create design tutorials specifically for my college students—though all are welcome! My videos prioritize accessibility for every learner with slow step by step instruction, minimal background noise, closed captions, and the use of highlights and zooms for better visibility.I teach with a holistic mindset, so most tutorials include:🖥️ Essential software skills and explanations of different features👩🏻‍🏫 Design history connections that link past art movements to the work we create today🎨 Formal analysis & critique, where I explain the “why” behind my creative decisions through the elements of art and principles of design
