Joyful Pear Design
About
|
Joyful Pear Design is a small, creative tuition studio based in Onerahi, Whangārei. We offer one-on-one help with websites, eBooks, and digital skills — at your pace, in plain language, with no jargon and no rush.
I'm Shelley — a graphic designer, tutor, and lifelong learner with over 30 years in the publishing industry. I've been teaching websites and eBooks to adults since the 1990s, and I still find it genuinely rewarding when something clicks for someone.
I started out in Auckland, working in magazines, books, and marketing, and helping set up a tertiary graphic design school in the city. I moved to sunny Onerahi and have been running Joyful Pear Design here for over 15 years.
I believe the best learning happens when you're relaxed, curious, and working on something that actually matters to you. That's why I keep sessions one-on-one, work at your pace, and focus on what's genuinely useful — we skip the rest.
When I'm not teaching, I'm usually attending courses or learning something new for my latest project. |
