Khara Plicanic
Instructor, Graphic Designer & Creator
InDesign | Photography & Design | Business Strategy
I’m a camera-slinging design geek and all-around Adobe nerd, and teaching has always been at the heart of what I do. For more than 20 years, I’ve been sharing inspiration and know-how with creatives around the world.
I’ve authored several books, created oodles of online courses, and provided customised training for clients big and small across photography, design, software, business strategy, and creative workflow.
My goal is to make creative tools and processes feel approachable, practical, and genuinely useful - whether I’m teaching online, working directly with a client, or presenting at creative industry events.
When I’m not teaching, speaking, or making futile attempts to reclaim hard drive space, I’m usually plotting my next craft project, maintaining my Wordle streak, searching the sofa cushions for a runaway Wacom pen, or trying to remember where I left my phone!
