Virtual & Online Doodle Courses

Doodling is not an artistic process. Doodling is thinking.

I work with stressed out teachers who have NO TIME to engage in self-care to strengthen their minds, nurture their hearts, and boost their creativity through doodling without worrying about creating perfect art. Repeated and combined lines are great tools for positive brain training, giving a platform for thoughts, ideas, and emotions to be processed and shared.

Featured Programs for Self-care

Participants in these courses are first-time doodlers or seasoned artists. Just like going to the gym to exercise, there is value in revisiting the content in the courses and doodling frequently.  Any doodling is good doodling – let go of outcomes, focus on the process. Doodling is a healthy way of putting “Created to Create” to practice.

Why Doodle?

We were created to create. Doodling is our earliest method of written communication, but we trade it for a less natural, imposed system of symbols (letters and numbers). It is time to return to and incorporate our earliest, natural system of expression to enhance our effectiveness and improve our well-being. Science has proven that Doodling can:

Visual Vocabulary

If you can draw lines, you can doodle. Repeated lines create patterns.  Combined lines create objects. This guided course will give you confidence in your ability to doodle a wide range of objects (and metaphors) that can help you express your thoughts, ideas, and emotions.  

Doodle Note-Taking

Use the same basic lines that are used in patterns and develop a library of icons to help your notes come alive. Doodling while listening is proven to enhance retention. Taking Doodled notes is sure to improve your focus, memory, and application of what you take away from your courses.

About me

Hi, I'm De

During a particularly stressful time in my life, I turned to Doodling to help keep me present and calm. It was a great tool to process thoughts while creating gifts. Over a decade later, I am still doodling and loving every minute I get to do it! Doodling is a daily practice for me as a means to think, solve, process, and express. And when I’m lucky, I get to doodle for and with others!

With a background in education and counseling, I find that Doodling is a powerful tool that can strengthen your mind, nurture your heart, and boost your creativity. Doodling bridges gaps and opens doors for processing and sharing. I can’t wait to doodle with you so you can enjoy this easily accessible form of self-care and thinking as well.

De is an amazing and talented doodler. I am inspired by her on a daily basis. I attended a 1:1 Neurographic art session with her and she made me feel so comfortable that my creativity was boosted and I was able to draw a beautiful art piece that brings me joy every time I look at it. She is an excellent professional and even a better person.

I joined De's "Visual Learning for Teachers" course in the Spring of 2021. Each class was a valuable learning experience and fun too! De provided us with skills and materials we could also integrate into our curriculum or just as time fillers when needed. This summer she also offered a bonus Summer Doodle Camp - all participants were happy and engaged! De's pleasant demeanor makes it all that more enjoyable. I highly recommend joining De for some doodling fun!

De is an amazing, engaging doodling teacher. I find our group sessions to be relaxing, fun times for both my 12-year-old daughter and me. It always surprises me what creative art she guides us into making. I always end the sessions thinking, "I can actually draw!"
"I enjoy doodling because Miss D. always makes learning to draw fun and I have learned a lot about drawing. I would definitely suggest it to someone else."
