Your go-to channel for Photoshop, Illustrator, & Affinity Tutorials.
Thanks for stopping by — I'm Erin, a formerly self taught designer turned University Professor. Before pursuing my formal education, I taught myself design software using tutorials right here on YouTube, and even landed my first entry level design job at just 16 years old.
Self learning takes persistence and discipline — qualities, I strive to instill in my college students. For this reason, I've come full circle and started creating my own tutorials. Having taught visually and hearing impaired students, I prioritize accessibility in my content: Highlighting my cursor, small buttons, including zooms, and closed captioning. This is a channel where diverse learning styles can thrive.
Enjoy the tutorials, and if you create something cool, please show it off on my YouTube community page. I'd love to see your work!

✨ My First YouTube Video! ✨
Welcome to my channel! I’m a college-level graphic design instructor, teaching undergraduates since 2021. I started this channel to create tutorials that support my students — but anyone is welcome to learn along with us.
I prioritize accessibility so my videos can help many different types of learners. You’ll find:
👣 Clear, slow-paced instruction
📖 Closed captioning & transcripts
🔎 Zooms & highlights for tiny interface details
I also teach with a holistic mindset, blending software skills with design principles and a little bit of art history.
Most of my professional work has been in brand identity and web design, so video editing is a new skill I’m excited to keep improving. Thanks for joining me on this journey — let’s design together!
