Melissa PicconeInstructor

Melissa Piccone started her career making video games. When the web came into being, she jumped on the bandwagon and became a web designer. After years of owning a web design business, she switched gears and turned her digital scrapbooking hobby into a business designing and printing photo books. Throughout these career transitions she also all taught. Her love of teaching compelled her to become an Adobe Certified Instructor, one of only two in Colorado, allowing her to teach as often as she likes.
