Declutter and refine your designs using fundamental design principles and clever Canva techniques.

Many small business owners are using Canva for their marketing content but have trouble making it look good or be consistent.  This session aims to help people make their designs feel cleaner & less cluttered, with clear messaging and an easy to understand hierarchy of information.

In addition to this session, you can bring along your laptop and we will help you create designs you can use for social media, facebook posts & insta tiles. If you have a particular item you want designed, come along and we’ll help you tick that job off your list.
