Meet the instructor
Cindy Hickey is the Visual Design & Imaging instructor. Mrs. Hickey has been at TCTC since 2010, and she worked in the industry for 9 years before joining our team.
I like art and drawing, and I knew the Visual Design & Imaging program would allow me to work creatively. In this program, I have developed my skills with Adobe Photoshop and have been able to expand what I can do creatively. I want to be a graphic designer when I graduate high school, and the Adobe Photoshop certification that I have already earned will help me as I go on to college.
