about Lidka

As a teacher, Lidka puts the focus on the whole concept as well as its parts. Problem solving and applying information to practice are her natural teaching style, and no question goes unanswered in her classes. Her students say that they have never had a better teacher. Some like it so much that they never leave, becoming Studio L's associates and teachers.

As a designer for print and for web, Lidka offers her unique illustrative style— and a problem-free file output.
