Comment:

Lis makes typography interesting, and she understands the pressure of learning so many new things about typography in such a little timeframe. The guidelines are very clear, and we critiqued the work with the rubric before it was due. She is very supportive and is willing to meet you during office hours if you need more critique.

Comment:

Lis can be all business, but in a super friendly way, if that makes sense. Shes a loving den mother, but also a strict and driven art director. She pushed everyone hard to do their best work, and the transformations coming out of this class were truly amazing. So much fun!

Comment:

Not the best graphic design instructor I have ever had and, not so good advisor either. Wish I had sought out advising assistance from someone else. Also, her suggestions for my graphic design projects, when she bothered to give me any, were rarely helpful. It seemed she took pleasure in having me wing it.

I've had Lis for a number of classes and she's been great in every one. She will definitely push you to make the best designs you can make. She's nice, but she will call you out if you're obviously slacking.

I took one class with Lis and learned more about graphic design in that one class than I did in my first two years at PSU. You will have so much fun, she has great energy and moves fast, if you can keep up than this is the teacher for you.
