Canva Masterclass

Hi, my name is Joanna and I’m a freelance graphic designer.
Welcome to my Canva Masterclass – for Small Businesses!

This online workshop has been created especially for business owners who want to give their brand a professional look but are not in a place where they can afford the cost of hiring a designer for every post, flyer, or campaign. When you’re just starting out, budgets are often tight, but your brand’s visual identity is one of the most important things you can invest in. It’s what makes you memorable, builds trust, and helps you stand out in a crowded market.

A lot of people I meet already have a Canva account, but they’re only scratching the surface of what it can do or they are using templates that make them look like others in the industry. They spend hours moving things around, frustrated with designs that never quite look “right.” This workshop is designed to change that.

Unlike free tutorials you can find online, this masterclass has been carefully structured to give you everything you need in one place, from design principles to branding strategy to practical, time saving hacks. You’re not just learning how to use Canva; you’re learning how to use it like a designer and bring your brand to life.

This workshop doesn’t replace the need for a professional designer (we have our uses), but it does mean you’ll be able to create consistent, on-brand content confidently in between those bigger investments.

Think of it as building strong foundations. When you’re ready to take things further with custom branding, packaging, or advanced design work, you’ll already have a clear vision and style in place, which makes working with a designer much easier and more effective.

Think of it this way: hiring a graphic designer to create a brand kit, social media templates, and content plans could cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the tools, templates, and knowledge to create content efficiently and effectively. That means the course pays for itself many times over.
