Thank you so much for a great session. I felt like I learned alot in such a short amount of time. Prior to this course, I was not comfortable using Photoshop, but now I am more confident in doing projects to enhance my skills further as I migrate away from Canva.

Great course, great instructor, she was very patient with me. I was challenged by the course at first and felt like it wasn't for me. But as I kept going and learning, I gained confidence and see now this was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. Thank you for allowing me to continue my education!
