Testimonials



InDesign for Writers and Editors was phenomenal! Patricia Ryan's course content exceeded all expectations. Patricia is clearly a master on the subject, and she was able to convey that knowledge in a concise, focused and very approachable way. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to every editor and writer out there--freelance or staff. Elisa Agostinho

"Patricia Ryan is very knowledgeable in all areas of design. She easily taught a class with people coming from all different disciplines within graphic design. The weekend class is great for getting a basic overview of how the program works and gives you tools to implement projects for yourself." -- Donna Gronachan

"There are very few classes like this available. Every job out there expects you to know InDesign, but they don't want to teach it to you. This course gives you all of the tools that you need to go out there and use the program correctly. I would definitely recommend it!" -- Kate Kenny

"Tricia was amazingly responsive to our questions and encouraged us to approach her during lunch breaks and before class. She took the time to address questions specific to my newspaper and suggest solutions for our problems with printing quality. It was a pleasure to learn from someone so good-humored, patient and expert at the program." -- Kaukab Jhumra Smith
