Happy Customers

Love this class! You have to work hard but she is very understanding if you need help with due dates. Helpful in class and goes above and beyond to answer questions. Very stern on listening to her lectures and others when they are talking. She was nice, helpful and very funny! Down to earth. Expects a lot but also understanding

Professor Strickland was one of my favorite professors during my first semester. She gave really good feedback and you could tell she was really interested in everyone's artwork. She was very polite and caring. Just do as the assignments say and make an effort and you'll be okay!

Professor Strickland is extremely understanding and creates projects that are very immersive and fun for her students. I thoroughly enjoyed taking Graphic Design with her, and am continuing into the next course with her as well! If you communicate with her, she will work with you, and truly tries to get to know you and be involved in your work.

Hayli Strickland is a patient professor who enjoys what she teaches. She shares her passion by teaching and helping students understand the art of photography. This course is a great course to take for your art credit especially if you are looking for something online. There is usually only 1 assignment per week! Effort is key to success in AS280.

I absolutely loved being in her class! She gives amazing feedback on work and genuinely cares about her students and why they do the work they do! She is also very understanding of the different levels of capability in the class and I never felt left behind or bad. My works were not amazing because I had never done digital art before!

Anthony Zecco

I was out of my comfort zone being photographed, and Hayli made my feel comfortable and beautiful. Hayli is the GOAT! If you ever get the change to have her photograph you, do it!
Heather Evans
- Photography Client
Hayli was a great art director, giving me a lot of knowledge on how to hone my craft as a graphic designer. She even came to my BFA show when I graduated!
Marla Mars
- Graphic Designer, WSG
I cannot thank Hayli enough for her help this semester. Her organization of students was on point, she stayed on top of everything, and kept me in the loop of every situation. She went above and beyond.
Jessica Page Mead
- Visiting Lecturer, UK
I don't know how [Hayli] handled this semester with such a heavy load, truly. She has worked so hard and we are so happy to have her on the team.
Brandon Smith
- Professor at UK
Hayli is always willing to say yes. She has become a reliable teacher in times of need, and is always ready to work with a smile on her face. Her professionalism and years in the industry make her a great teacher.
Ruth Adams
- Director at SAVS, University of Kentucky
These are the best photo's ever taken of me! I have paid way more for photos in my life and I wasn't nearly as happy as I was with these. I loved working with her.
