online / FREE / beginner friendlySmall business owner, I see you.
You’re doing EVERYTHING. The emails, the clients, the day-to-day work. And on top of it all… you’re expected to be a marketer/social media expert/ graphic designer, too.
And as much as I love being a designer, not everyone needs to be a graphic design pro.
Sometimes you just wanna be able to open Canva, make a nice-looking post for your business, and move on with your day.Good news, you’re in the right place.

You can totally use Canva. Promise.
During the workshop, we’ll spend about an hour together helping you get comfortable inside Canva. I’ll show you the basics step by step.
01 - get familiar
I’ll walk you through where everything is, and teach you some of my favourite shortcuts to make social posts, fast. You’ll get familiar with your brand kit and how to use it.
02 - LET’S MAKE IT LOOK GOOD
We’ll cover the basics behind colours, imagery, spacing, hierarchy. Plus, my absolute design philosophy: LET IT BREATHE!
03 - a live glow-up
I'll choose a couple of real attendee designs that you’ve submitted and rework them LIVE. As I’m editing, I’ll explain the design decisions and why they work better.
04 - a little less intimidated
You’ll leave with some of my best tips + tricks for making your own graphics. Plus, you’ll hopefully feel a bit more comfy next time you log in to make a custom graphic or flyer :)

Yep, AI can make social graphics in seconds.
But it’s also doing the same for every other small business who typed in the same prompt.
Every time you use AI to make a graphic, you dilute your brand’s recognizability.
If your dream customers can’t separate you from the other 30 AI-generated posts they saw on their feed today… that’s a problem.

Meet your designer
Hey, I’m Melissa.
I'm the Brand + Web Designer behind Paradise Brand Club! In my small business, I create strategic, stylish brands and websites for women-led businesses here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
After each project, I love seeing my clients grow and thrive. But there’s one thing I’ve been asked, over and over… for years now:
“Will you please teach us Canva?”
So I’m taking the leap!
I always believe professional design has its place (hello! if you need a brand or site, I’m your girl!), but I also want to empower business owners to trust their style and eye.
And I know what it’s like to need to put a social post out, like yesterday. I just don’t want you to turn to AI. It reduces your brand’s impact out in the world.
So many business owners want to be able to use a tool like Canva, quickly, without being overwhelmed.
That's what I want to teach you. I swear it’s possible!
I’ve been using Canva for nearly 10 years (yep: it existed in 2017, and it looked wayyyy different back then)

-
No worries. This is beginner-friendly and we're starting with the basics!
-
That’s okay! The design principles/live demonstration should give you plenty to steal for your own process. I know a lot of tricks to streamline your design and make things go a little faster!
-
Nope, not for this webinar. I do love Canva Pro and i highly recommend it, but I'll point out Pro features when I see them.
You definitely don't need to upgrade your account to attend, though.
-
I hear you. But honestly, you’ve probably seen the backlash, too.
If it's working for you, that's great!
But here's the problem… just because something gets the job done doesn't mean it's doing your business justice.
I highly recommend learning the basics for designing on your own. It’s such a great skill to have.
*The webinar isn’t a place for us to debate the ethics of AI, just a place to learn. I’m hoping everyone who attends can respect that! <3
-
Yes. After registering, you'll get instructions via e-mail for submitting something you've created or generated.
I'll select 1-2 examples before the workshop.
-
Yes! Register anyway, and if you have to leave early, I’ll send along. the replay details so you can watch later.
