I have a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Performing Arts, Minors in Computer Science Game Design, Writing, Studio Art, and Dance; along with a Master of Fine Arts in Animation and Visual Effects focusing on 3D Modeling and Texturing.

I bring my multi-disciplined artistic skills into my tutoring. I have 4+ years of formal tutoring 7 to 30+ year-olds in 3D modeling (for film/gaming/3D printing), graphic design, digital painting, and story development (writing/editing). I enjoy empowering others with their artistic development whether it is for hobby’s sake, a lifelong passion, or a career pivot. My belief is the language of art is what can bridge communication barriers.

What makes me an outstanding tutor is I have an adaptive teaching method, which is reflective of the best practices I have experienced myself. I have the latest software and up-to-date computer hardware, to ensure a smooth teaching experience online.

Whether you are just starting out or needing another creative to provide constructive feedback before submitting an assignment or trying to build your skills for a potential career or hobby, I will support you all along the way.

Adobe InDesign,

Adobe InDesign

I have in-depth study with this program with page layout for presentations or print mediums. I typically use this program when I have a multi-paged project that needs a uniform layout design. An example of this is using the program for the layout of novel-length works.
Adobe Photoshop,

Drawing,

Drawing

I've drawn my entire life, and have done drawing boot camps, and countless other studies. I have tutored students in character design, chiaroscuro, composition, and more. I use traditional mediums and digital mediums along with combinations of the two for countless projects.

Painting

I have done countless years of study in traditional mediums and applied those skills to the digital pallet. I have produced a digital painting for a charity event, and for a gift for a birthday present. I continue to develop my observation skills to take that knowledge to the digital pallet.
Video Production,

Video Production

I have helped actors and other artists make demo reels of their work. I have also made AMVs (anime music videos), and other types of music videos. I focus on the overall story the creator is trying to tell and how best to address this. If you need to work out a storyboard then we storyboard.

Autodesk Maya

I focus on hard surface models like robots, especially in Maya. For organic models, I use Zbrush predominantly. I have done an intense study of proper topology, so that organic and hard surface models can be rigged and animated later in the pipeline. I also have experience with 3D printers and have done specialized studies on tailoring models for printing versus production.

Knowledgeable and patient.

My son Alex is autistic but super bright. Malachi was super patient. I recommend him for any neurodivergent student needing help with graphic design. He was very knowledgeable about the program. And offered general design feedback and tips as well.

Jennifer, 3 lessons with Malachi

Malachi is excellent

We worked with ZBRUSH AND PHOTOSHOP. Malachi is very knowledgeable with the technology I requested to be trutored. He is patient, informative and understands exactly what I am trying to acheive.

MICHAEL, 2 lessons with Malachi

Amazing tutor

I rarely leave reviews. Malachi M. tutored me once (so far), and I was thrilled with his services. I had requested one kind of help, but he immediately realized that my artwork needed to go differently than I requested. He very kindly made a few suggestions that made perfect sense. His help was sensitive, brilliant, knowledgeable, and way beyond my expectations. I could not recommend him enough to do justice to his talents and nature.

Pessa, 1 lesson with Malachi

He knows his stuff.

Malachi was great at explaining things and even sent me a document outlining basic design principles. He also told me I could message him if I had any further questions. Happy customer.

Robert, 3 lessons with Malachi

Len, 1 lesson with Malachi

Super helpful!

I’m getting back into 3d modeling and he totally pointed me in the right direction. Also showed me some links and routes to improve on my own. Getting back into 3d modeling can be confusing and this was really helpful, thanks again!

Cameron, 1 lesson with Malachi

Knowledgeable and patient

Helped my daughter immensely with a project in Adobe using Idesign. He really helped her grasp just enough of what she needed to complete the project successfully on her own.

Clear and Step-by-Step Assistance

Malachi guided me through a step-by-step process in Photoshop to size photos, remove backgrounds and use layers for placement in InDesign. He helped me redo an InDesign book for a 2nd publication. His clear directions gave me the tools to complete my projects. I am grateful for his assistance and recommend him to others. 4 Sessions Steve
