ATD – Having worked as an artworker I can save you time and trouble when you take your ideas to print. I know my way around the Adobe suite and have produced many live projects—not just looking good on a laptop, but in your hands too. I’ve helped many business start out with a strong identity. It is so tempting for directors to try doing everything themselves at first—don’t skimp out of the design part. A strong identity gives you confidence to focus on running the business.
I know my way around a server and can implement your favourite CMS, transfer a site and manage your domain. I can customise a website’s front-end code to tailor your needs and can make beautiful graphics and banners to enhance your site. You can often find me with a 50mm lens mounted on a Canon 5dmkiii. Being a teacher of photography I know a trick or two and you can have confidence that I double up well as a photographer, in addition to design.
I work as an administrator and teacher for an international high school in China. In my spare time I’m a digital designer, musician, and photographer. I also own ATD which offers freelance design services. The hardest, but most rewarding, job of all is being a parent though! Two young daughters and a wife to support.
YouTube – Teacher Tobin is a channel with a pedagogical style rooted in self-learning and exploration, suitable for teachers and students. As a teacher, administrator, student, and parent, I see learning from different perspectives. My goal is to share practical knowledge with you about the things that interest me: design, music, programming, CAD, broadcasting and photography, so that you can self-learn and add more skills.
