I’ve been using my computer to create beautiful things for about 15 years now. I've spent 10 years working in graphic design using a variety of software systems including Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I’ve also taught a University unit on presentation systems and graphic design for the past few years.
I’ve been focusing my skills on digital scrapbooking since October 2007, and I've been teaching in person classes in Perth, Western Australia since 2009. In 2011 I launched Digital Scrapbooking HQ, where I’m creating a unique system where you can get your Photoshop questions answered and you can use your computer to do what you want it to!
My work has been featured at The Daily Digi, Scrapbookgraphics, and the Daily Scrapper and was published in the 2012 Log your Memory Weekly Challenge Book. I’m currently on the team for Wendyzine Scraps and Ella Publishing.
What others have to say about Melissa
