Hi, I'm Kent Newbold. I started in the printing industry right out of high school. When the printing industry went digital, I went right along with it. I have been working with Photoshop since the early 1990's, followed by Illustrator and InDesign a few years after that.

A few years ago a friend of mine was teaching a course in Photoshop. Several students wanted him to teach them how to do digital scrapbooking. He wasn't interested in teaching that type of Photoshop course, since his classes were focused on photo editing, not creating art from scratch using Photoshop, so I decided I could teach digital scrapbooking.

I started a website called learndigitalscrapbooking.com. I wrote a couple of e-books in 2012, but soon realized that the software updates came so frequently that those e-books were quickly out of date. In 2020 I started a YouTube channel, Learn Digital Scrapbooking, and began making video tutorials for YouTube.

I am an avid photographer who enjoys taking pictures of landscapes, cityscapes and wildlife. My dream job would be spending my time outdoors taking photographs. Someday, when I retire from the corporate world, I hope to make that dream come true.

I have a degree in IT/Visual Communications, and have taken classes since high school in various subjects. I always wanted to learn how to draw and write but always seemed to focus more on photography and photoshop. Skillshare is now my go to platform both as a student and a teacher.

I am married with three grown, married children, and 4 grandchildren.
