I have been working with computers since "day one." My focus, until 2007 was primarily for print production. With consumer demand moving toward web and electronic devices, my focus has concentrated more on converting print documents to web standards (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) as well as creating web pages using Dreamweaver and Business Catalyst. I am currently using Adobe DPS Single Edition, iBooks Author, and XCode5 to publish to iPad and iPhone. For ePub and Kindle .mobi, I add custom CSS to InDesign's export to ePub. For word processing I use Adobe InCopy, MicrosoftWord, and TextEdit. Other applications I use regularly include: Photoshop, Illustrator, and Painter.

Linda C. from Provo, UT

I appreciate that she can come to my location of work and complies with my evening availability. She is tutoring me in Indesign and helped me with programs and short cuts. She has taken the time to outline and send me a link of all the info we went over, which when I opened, was amazed of how much we discussed.

Shirley is an amazing tutor. I started looking for a tutor for my web development class. I couldn't have found a better tutor. Her lessons are well planned out and she always has exercises that go well with the topic you are learning. She helps even you when you're struggling and is always available to email, she responds very promptly. I highly recommend her to anyone.
