All Ages Creative Academy

Nope - this is definitely not me.
The giveaway - apart from the fact that we look nothing alike - is the mug. Coffee is a daily lifeline for me, but the mug... ah, no.

I have a selection of lovely-to-hold-and-drink-from cups that offer a much preferred coffee experience.

The design template, though, I did create. About 3 hours ago, to be precise.

I’m on a mission to re-inspire myself *and you* to embrace more minimal designs.

Busy templates confuse our messaging and look not-quite-so professional, simply because there’s too much going on.

And even using my absolute FAVOURITE Canva tool, the LAYERS PANEL (my students are rolling their eyes reading this - I do say this a LOT. Because it’s REAL)... cluttered designs can also be a pain to edit and customise, and take ages.

So keep your eye out here - I’ll be demonstrating how much variety you can get from simple designs over the next weeks.

WHILE YOU’RE THERE…

While you’re on the website, have a look at 1-1 Session options. They’re for you if you’re running a business with projects that need to get done yesterday.

Done With You if you want to learn, Done For You if you’re over it and have other things to do with your time.

KIDS (6-12) BUILDING REAL TECH LITERACY AS THEY DESIGN

And if you have 6-12 year old kids, there are details about the kids Canva course which is WAY more about building valuable tech literacy than it is about making birthday party invitations. We do that too, but I sneak the real learning in as they’re creating fun projects.

Short lessons. Doesn't feel like school work. But gives your kids a massive head start in tech.

If you have any questions about 1-1 sessions or the Kids course - email me! [email protected]

Very happy to discuss. I check emails way more often than DMs.

Pick up your phone and TAKE PHOTOS for your business! Because for your audience, real photography FEELS better. And, well, real-ler.

We're drowning in stock photography and AI-generated images and our brains don't like it.

If you're a service or bricks-and-mortar business this is more obviously relevant, but even if you're talking to a global audience, your life outside of your website helps people relate to you.

PLUS you don't necessarily need to be IN the photos! You can simply share some insight about where you were.

If you want help in how to use these images in your marketing, how to take great photos with your phone, or want some clarity about using Canva quickly and clearly, check out my 1-1 sessions.

Posting this while my brain continues to whir with 'better caption' options.

Kids Get Creative With Canva is an online course all about giving 6-12 year old kids the opportunity to learn how to understand and use the tools and options in Canva. This is SO important, because kids are fast and impatient when using new tech, but they're missing the insight of how valuable structured learning is.

Over 230 million people worldwide use Canva. That number alone gives a direct indication of how valuable skills in this platform are and will be, for a huge range of education and work opportunities.

You can relax knowing:
✔ the content is child friendly
✔ You don’t need to understand Canva yourself, the step-by-step lessons are customised for kids
