Laura Patsko is a learning experience consultant, teacher and trainer, currently based in Athens, Greece.

She has written and presented extensively on these topics worldwide and has a professional portfolio available at www.blackbirdLXD.com. She's also a self-taught artist and crafter. When not teaching, crafting or designing learning experiences, you’ll probably find her exploring Athens on foot with her awesome little dog, Hero.
