My goal is to empower unapologetic idealists through art, design, and education.I’m an American/Portuguese interdisciplinary artist recently returned to Rome, Italy after eight years in Asia and Africa.

This was my second online course by Kristen Palana and I really enjoyed both. For a beginner in digital art and graphic design I feel like I got a lot of helpful and useful tools on both courses.
There are 2 lectures (Videos) that repeat themselves on both but a reminder never hurt anyone. Would definitely recommend for traditional artists looking to expand ways of creating and expressing.
The course was good and the additional resources very helpful. Thank you
GOOD Informative courses for online promotional images designs.
Very useful
Professor Palana always delivers great stuff. She also goes to extra lengths to give us information. You usually get more than you paid for. :-)
The course was extremely helpful, easy to understand and follow. Many valuable tips and weblinks. I am all around satisfied. Thank you!

This is an excellent choice for me. I volunteer for a very small Museum and I don't have a lot of time that I can dedicate right now. The teacher is very good, and cuts right to the chase.
