About Lydia

Experienced designer and trainer, I have worked for several household brands & 15+ years tutoring, training, mentoring and creative coaching for professionals, students, amateurs and career-changers. I receive great results and feedback, and tailor sessions to the requirements of the student.

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have mentored and art directed designers and have been commissioned for advertising imagery, architectural, portraits and studio shots (food and product), resulting in 1,000s of my photos being on travel brand libraries. I am passionate about learning in a creative way.
I am also dyslexic and have overcome this in my career, I therefore understand how to make the complicated software seem easier for students of all ages.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes, I can also provide references

- Where and with whom did you train?

I trained at Camberwell College of Arts in London, University of the Arts and graduated in 2000, and have worked in the design industry ever since

- Tell me about some of your current students.

I have a range of students who vary from secondary school age through adults looking to change career. I also have worked with several clients where I have trained employees in their offices, and offered ongoing support.

About the lesson

I tailor all sessions to the requirements of the student/organisation, I am happy to come into offices to deliver training on branding, design and creativity to design and marketing team members for example. I also work with students wanting to develop their creative career, or add to their skills.
I have a friendly approach, an enjoy watching students develop their creativity and knowledge, I can deliver training in person, at a meeting point or over Skype, depending on the requirements.

I have a degree in Graphic Design and 20+ years experience working for several major brands as well as small start-ups. I also grew up being taught photography from a young age and continued this through my degree and working career.

I teach from ages 13 and upwards. I can teach students drawing, how to use different materials and have the confidence to be creative. I can also teach them the basics on the computer software right through to adults looking at a career change, or just to know how to use Photoshop for example.
I train adults to use Adobe software, develop creative ideas and how to help back up their design requirements.
I can help prepare students for portfolio reviews and bring out their creativity.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I can prepare students in accordance to their syllabus, but also specifically for entrance to art and design courses such as degree and foundation courses.
When I do training, I tailor the courses to the business/employee needs.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Online tutoring can carried out over Zoom, Skype or Facetime, this makes it easier for students to work around work and family commitments and as long you have a quiet space it can work really well.

Lydia worked with me over several years, taking the time to teach me each of the design packages, and creative coaching through my courses. Her teaching style is clear and helpful, and made it easy to learn and understand. She encouraged my creativity when I was under pressure with deadlines from my course, and provided me with notes and ideas. Lydia's training undoubtedly put me ahead of other students, her passion for design rubs off and I am now pursuing a creative career for myself.

Lydia has been an invaluable help to my son who was struggling with a university module. She was prompt in replying to my enquiry, even though she was on holiday at the time!!. Nicholas was able to discuss with Lydia the areas he needed help on and she focussed on these and guided and encouraged him through the module via Skype sessions. She also sent him notes on how to progress his work. It was such a helpful approach that made all the difference to my son. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lydia
