Canva Without the Chaos: Part One: — Build Branded Content with Confidence

A practical 2-Part Workshop Series geared towards helping small businesses and entrepreneurs streamline the creation of on-brand, professional looking content.

Canva has become one of the most widely used design tools for entrepreneurs—but for many small business owners, it can feel overwhelming. Between running your business, serving your clients, and wearing a dozen other hats, learning how to use Canva efficiently often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. And while there are endless YouTube tutorials, few are designed specifically with the small business owner in mind.

This two-part Canva Masterclass was created to cut through that clutter. Over the course of two interactive workshops, you’ll learn how to set up, streamline, and actually use Canva in a way that saves time, strengthens your brand, and makes content creation feel less like a chore.

Bring your laptop if you’d like to follow along! Already have Canva Pro and a folder of brand assets? Perfect—you’ll get hands-on practice as we go. Don’t have Canva Pro yet (or a library of assets)? No worries. You’ll still walk away with all the knowledge, inspiration, and a full library of tutorial videos to implement at your own pace later—making it easier to decide if Canva Pro is worth it for you.

By the end, you’ll have the tools and confidence to bring your brand to life inside Canva—whether you’re ready to play in real time or prefer to learn now and apply later.

If Canva feels intimidating, this is where you’ll want to start. Part One is designed for entrepreneurs who have little to no Canva experience or who feel overwhelmed by the platform. We’ll walk step-by-step through the essentials every small business owner needs to know:

• Navigating Canva’s interface without getting lost
• Setting up your Brand Hub so your colors, fonts, and logos are always at your fingertips
• Customizing templates so your content reflects your business (not a generic design)
• Creating a simple lead magnet, like a guide or checklist, that looks polished and professional
• Repurposing one piece of content into multiple formats, including social media posts and short videos

You’ll leave Part One with a strong foundation, practical skills for making on-brand content, and the confidence to start creating without second-guessing yourself.

Bio: What do you do when your business vision feels clear in your heart… but impossible to express on paper?
You translate.
After a major career shake-up, exiting a job I thought defined me, I rebuilt my career by doing exactly what I now help others do: reconnect with what matters, own their magic, and bring it to life through soulful, strategic branding.
I work with wildly passionate solopreneurs and small businesses who are so done with the DIY hustle—but aren’t looking for a big-box agency either. They want something more honest. More human. More them.
Through collaborative strategy and intentional design, I help bring clarity to the unseen—so your brand reflects who you truly are and where you’re headed. The result? A brand that speaks for you, attracts your people, and fuels your next chapter with confidence and flow.
