Obtained my first degree in Computer Science and a post graduate degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. Obsessed with learning & acquiring knowledge, a person who always believes that applied knowledge is power. I love sharing  knowledge with others wherever I go. I love helping people change their lives for the better, it really makes me so happy that's why I'm here on Udemy to teach what I know in an approachable way and make complex topics easy to understand.

My specialties are: Motion Graphics, Social Media Marketing, Visual Marketing and Whiteboard Animation.

Recently, I have started helping Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners who don't have any design/ motion graphics or animation skills yet they wish to quickly learn some design/motion graphics/ whiteboard animation tools to create professional looking graphic posts or motion graphics or whiteboard videos or web pages to promote their brand  instead of paying tons of money to hire someone to do the work for them and this by teaching them some awesome tools like Videoscribe, Adobe Spark and OFFEO.

I have 17 courses on Udemy so far and more will be added soon! all of my courses have at least 10 minutes of free previews available  to you, so you can quickly determine the courses that are right for you.

My courses can be watched 24/7 wherever you are. You can also view them on  mobile devices with Udemy mobile app.

All courses have a 30-day money-back guarantee so that you can check  it out, make sure it’s the right course for you, and get a refund if it’s not.

I always work on improving my courses and taking students' feedback seriously to reach the best version that they can be. Also, I am always here whenever you need to ask any question because I do care about my students and always seek to help them achieve their dreams through the knowledge that my courses provide.
