"I can't recommend the Advanced Photoshop Techniques for Surface Pattern Designers & Illustrators course enough! Diane's teaching style is phenomenal – each video is short, easily digestible, and packed with straightforward tutorials.

There's no fluff or rambling, just pure, practical guidance and advice. The tutorials are clear and concise, making it easy to follow along and learn. Thanks to Diane, I've learned so much about Photoshop and feel confident in my design skills. This course is a

game-changer!"
