Canva Jumpstart

Interested in learning how to use Canva but don't know where to start? Start here.

My goal with this course is to give you quick run through on everything you need to know to create professional graphics, infographics, presentations, reports, and videos using Canva.

You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on design software to create professional graphics and reports. Trust me, as an information designer I have subscriptions and licenses for A LOT of professional design tools. But project after project I still find myself using Canva more than any other piece of software.

Canva can...

  • help you create better designs, faster.
  • simplify your design workflow.
  • improve your design collaborations.
  • make you look a design pro, even if you're not.

This course will introduce the software features, provide you with practical walkthroughs, offer practice exercises, and a set of templates you can adapt and make your own.

And now, for the first time ever, this course is FREE.
