Design Beautiful, Cohesive Graphics with Ease

Learn how to create simple, soothing visuals that feel like you—even if you’re not a designer.

If you’re ready to stop settling for “good enough” and start creating visuals that connect with your audience, this course is for you.

Your visuals speak louder than words but are they saying the right things?

Every font, image, and colour choice in your marketing communicates something about your business. Done right, your visuals can engage your audience, build trust, and inspire action. Done poorly, they can confuse, overwhelm, or even repel the very clients you want to serve.

The good thing?

You don’t need to be a designer to create marketing materials and visuals that reflect the heart of your work. You just need a simple, straightforward way to learn the basic principles of good design so you can craft visuals that are beautiful, cohesive, and authentically you — Design With Intention is just the guide!

Imagine if your graphics could speak directly to your audience, communicate your brand's essence, and help you stand out—without needing a professional designer.

Design with Intention is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step course that helps you transform your brand's visuals from chaotic to cohesive, using essential principles of good design and the power of Canva—all at your own pace.

No more design overwhelm.

Design with Intention gives you the skills and tools you need, no matter where you're starting from.

Especially if you’re:

  • A coach, creative, or healing practitioner who wants your visuals to reflect the quality of your work without feeling like “just another template” or a hodgepodge of inconsistent styles and colours.

  • Over 40 and a self-proclaimed tech-challenged solopreneur who wants simple, beautiful graphics without spending hours learning complicated tools or second-guessing everything you design.

  • Easily overwhelmed and want clear, actionable steps to create professional-looking graphics you feel proud to share on social media, your website, or marketing materials.

  • New to Canva or looking to enhance your skills to help you feel confident creating graphics for your business without hiring an expensive designer.
