Translated by GoogleSee original

From 30 £ /h

Please note: All lessons are taught exclusively in English. I do not offer lessons in Dutch.

My lessons are designed for children and beginners who want to explore the world of graphic design and learn how to create their own projects.

We will start with the basics!

Before jumping into design software, we will explore the fundamentals of graphic design, including a little bit of design history and important design principles such as typography, color theory, composition and visual hierarchy.

Step by step, students will learn how to work with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Figma.

I believe that the best way to learn design is by actually creating things! That's why my lessons include fun, creative assignments such as designing logos, posters, visual identities, websites and mobile app interfaces.

Every lesson will be adapted to the student's age, interests, experience and learning pace.

My goal is not just to teach students how to use design software, but also how to think like designers. I want to help them develop their creativity, solve problems and understand the decisions behind their designs.

By the end of our lessons, students will have their own creative projects that they can proudly include in their portfolios.

All lessons are taught in English, in a friendly and supportive environment where students are encouraged to experiment, ask questions and learn from their mistakes.

Extra information

All lessons are taught in English.

Students should have their own laptop or computer.

Important: For lessons involving Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign, students need their own Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. The subscription is not included in the lesson price.

Figma can be used with a free account for beginner lessons.

No previous design experience is required! Just bring your curiosity, creativity and willingness to learn.

I’m a SideFX Certified Instructor and 3D artist with 20 years of experience in CGI. I offer one-to-one online Houdini lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals.

If you’re new to Houdini, we can start with the interface, nodes, attributes, and the principles of procedural modeling. If you already use it, we can focus on VEX, simulations, lighting and rendering, or building more effective procedural workflows. I can also help you understand and troubleshoot a project you’re working on.

Lessons are practical: we’ll work in Houdini together, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you can apply what you learn independently. Before our first session, tell me about your experience and what you’d like to achieve, and I’ll prepare a lesson around it.
