A different way of learning digital skills
Most digital education focuses on teaching people how to use specific tools: this app, that program, those steps.
But the digital world doesn’t stay still.
Interfaces change. Systems update. Instructions go out of date. And for many people, that constant change creates frustration, anxiety, or a feeling of being left behind.
We take a different approach.
Instead of teaching what to click, we focus on how to think in digital spaces.
Learning how to figure things out
Our work centres on creative problem-solving — learning how to pause, observe what’s on the screen, make sense of unfamiliar layouts, test safely, and recover when something doesn’t go as planned.
This approach builds skills that transfer across:
devices
software
websites
updates
entirely new systems
Rather than creating dependence on instructions, we focus on independence and confidence.
Patient, judgement-free support
Many people carry quiet embarrassment about struggling with technology. We’re intentional about creating an environment that feels calm, respectful, and supportive.
There’s no rushing.
No jargon.
No pressure to keep up.
Learning happens at a pace that feels manageable, using tools and situations that matter in real life.
A studio-based practice
This work is part of The Digital Pickle Studio — a creative studio built around thoughtful digital work, learning, and support.
While sessions are often one-on-one, they’re grounded in a broader studio philosophy that values clarity, creativity, and human-centred problem-solving. The language, methods, and structure are designed to grow over time — through small groups, workshops, and learning resources — without losing the care and attention that make this work effective.
Not really about technology
At its core, this work isn’t about software, apps, or the internet.
It’s about confidence.
It’s about curiosity.
It’s about learning how to navigate change - one screen at a time.
