Photo Editing & Digital Art

There's something genuinely satisfying about transforming a photo or creating your own digital artwork — and it's more achievable than you might think. I can help you learn to edit and enhance your photos, repair old or damaged images, and create original digital art and montages using free online tools including Adobe Photoshop. Whether it's for your website, social media, a gift, or just for the joy of it — we'll explore what works for you. Get in touch to talk through what you have in mind.

Family History & DNA

Family history is one of the most rewarding things you can explore on a computer — and often full of surprises. I can help you get started with online research, set up a free family tree, understand your DNA results, and find your way around sites like Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and GedMatch. Whether you're just curious or have hit a brick wall in your research, I'd love to help you find some new threads to follow. Get in touch to talk through what you have in mind.

Computer Skills & the Internet

Feeling a bit left behind with technology? You're not alone — technology has a habit of sprinting ahead without asking. I can help you get more comfortable with your device, organise your files and photos, manage your emails, stay safe online, and make better use of the internet in everyday life. We work on your own device, at your own pace, and focus on the things that are actually useful to you. Get in touch to talk through what you have in mind. Not sure if what I do fits what you need? Just send me a message and we'll work it out together.
