Hello! I'm Patricia, I have a degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia and have been doing Artistic work most of my Life.

I've been doing a lot of Freelance work and worked at a Graphic Design company on earlier years, but have since taken a leap into Online Course Creation where I can reach a lot more people and engage in the community. 

You can expect all your questions answered in my Courses, we take close attention to feedback and strive to teach everyone skills in Drawing and Graphic Design!

In the recent past I've:

- Co-Founded the Don Corgi Art Group;
- Collaborated with Programmers, Game Designers, Musicians, Youtubers, Twitchers and more!
- Teached over 3.000 people on different platforms (2.400 on Udemy alone as time of writing);

Through the years I've learned a lot! So I'm excited to share what I've learned with everyone through Udemy.

Can't wait to see you in the Courses, see you soon!
