If your designer can do JSP, they can do TT just fine. JSP allows full java expressions to be intermixed with the HTML (or whatever else the output is).

Give him a brief overview on variable access, looping, includes, etc. then install Template::Plugin::Stash so he can inspect the data provided to the template

.

Provide them with the templates and let him start asking when he sees things that he doesn't understand.

Another approache to let him produce the html, images and css mockups for the pages and you add the TT tags to it for the first few iterations of the new design.
