"Tammy is one of those rare combinations of a highly skilled practitioner and an exceptional teacher. Her knowledge of and facility using SketchUp is impressive. She agilely and diligently works to explore and then impart upon us designers SketchUp’s functions and application. But it is her teaching skills which include precise, clear and kind communication that belies both an enormous patience and comprehension of this software. I was literally lost in the design software jungle until I found Tammy."
