She easily taught a class with people from all different disciplines. The weekend class is great for getting a basic overview of how the program works and gives you tools to implement projects for yourself." -- Donna Gronachan "Patricia is very knowledgeable and presents the subject matter with knowledge and humor. An excellent class for writers and editors who want to enhance their marketability." -- Claudia Perry "Every job out there expects you to know InDesign, but they don't want to teach it to you.
