About Zachary
About Me Hi! I’m a 16-year-old graphic design tutor and entrepreneur based in Springfield, Massachusetts. I specialize in creating eye-catching, professional designs using Canva, and I love helping others unlock their creativity through design. I run my own graphic design business where I work with clients to bring their ideas to life—whether it’s logos, social media posts, flyers, or custom branding. As a tutor, I teach beginners how to use Canva to create stunning visuals, even if they’ve never designed anything before. My goal is to make graphic design fun, easy, and accessible for everyone—especially young creatives like me!
