Canva is a great product and has plenty of features for everyday users. But how can you make the most of it without getting bogged down in the endless choices of templates, fonts and inevitable drafts? Canva should save you time and money, but you need to use it wisely. That’s where I come in. THE LESSONS - Minimum 1 hour - Can be for students, professionals, business owners or anyone with a graphic design task - the lesson begins with discussion / establishment of your goals for the session Items that can be covered include: - how to choose the best templates for your projects - How to edit those templates so they don’t get messy - How to store your brand assets even if you don’t have a subscription - How to find quality photos and other elements both in Canva and from other sources (legally) - Making the decision to subscribe or not - Understanding layout fundamentals to help you maintain the quality of the Canva designs - How to choose fonts - How to choose colors - Why you should stick with colors, fonts and photographic themes and when it’s ok to break your own rules - ANYTHING ELSE you’re dying to know! - Lesson ends with a review of learnings against the goals set at the start. Any additional questions are answered if time allows. - Next appointment is set if applicable Lessons are conducted in Zoom, or if you are in the Brisbane area I can do in-person classes at an agreed meeting spot. Group training can be arranged for a separately negotiated fee. Please message me to discuss. Looking forward to Canva-ing with you!

Perfect! I am a 58 year old ex-corporate woman who after being bullied at work was SUPER stressed about learning new things. But Helen was so approachable, helpful, friendly and bursting with knowledge and motivation that I can't wait for my next session.
Perfect! Helen's canva tutorial was fantastic. She explained everything clearly and also in a concise manner. The lesson was better than expected and the great part is she records it so you can look back on the session if you need to! She also gave me some added design tips. I highly recommend helen
Perfect! Helen is very professional in her approach but also very patient with a beginner like me. I learnt so much from my first lesson!

Helen has been teaching me the ins and outs of Photoshop for the last few months. I don’t know how I would have survived my new job without her help.
Helen is everything I wanted in a tutor. She is professional, punctual and committed to real and sustainable learning outcomes and results. She is also good-humoured, warm, empathetic and encouraging and as such, she creates a safe and inspiring space to learn. She is also incredibly intelligent and a true expert at Adobe Creative Suite. She delivers above and beyond what is expected.
Helen is a fantastic teacher! She really knows her stuff and is incredibly patient. I strongly believe her background in lecturing really helps in teaching the basics of graphic design. I would definitely recommend Helen for anyone needing to work on projects as well as learn the fundamentals. I really enjoy my lessons with Helen :)
Helen has been a fantastic teacher!
Helen has been an invaluable asset to my small business since 2016.
She is patient and very knowledgeable, I always walk away from our sessions having learned something that I can incorporate into the work I do.
I would highly recommend anyone add Helen to their business resources.
