About Lydia
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have art directed designers and have been commissioned through all of my roles for advertising imagery, architectural, portraits and studio shots (food and product), resulting in 1,000s of my photos being on travel brand libraries. I am passionate about learning in a creative way.
I am also dyslexic and have overcome this in my career, I therefore understand how to make the complicated software seem easier for students of all ages.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, I can also provide references
- Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at Camberwell College of Arts in London, University of the Arts and graduated in 2000, and have worked in the design industry ever since
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I have a range of students who vary from secondary school age through adults looking to change career. I also have worked with several clients where I have trained employees in their offices, and offered ongoing support.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
I’ve been training with Lydia for three years now. She has been a constant inspiration and support to myself and my business, she is easy to work with, passionate about what she does and instills that in you. I would highly recommend Lydia.
Lydia worked with me over several years, taking the time to teach me each of the design packages, and creative coaching through my courses. Her teaching style is clear and helpful, and made it easy to learn and understand. She encouraged my creativity when I was under pressure with deadlines from my course, and provided me with notes and ideas. Lydia's training undoubtedly put me ahead of other students, her passion for design rubs off and I am now pursuing a creative career for myself.
Lydia is very creative and helpful, as well as encouraging and supportive in her approach. I would happily recommend her.
Lydia has been an invaluable help to my son who was struggling with a university module. She was prompt in replying to my enquiry, even though she was on holiday at the time!!. Nicholas was able to discuss with Lydia the areas he needed help on and she focussed on these and guided and encouraged him through the module via Skype sessions. She also sent him notes on how to progress his work. It was such a helpful approach that made all the difference to my son. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lydia
