Welcome to Episode 65: How to Design In Canva Like a Guru!


As the saying goes … “good designers don’t use Canva”. But that’s not necessarily true and a bit of a stigma in today’s design world. In my personal and professional opinion, fully trained designers should know BOTH! I truly do believe that graphic designers and Canva can (and should) coexist!


Think of things this way … Canva is like the McDonald’s drive-thru of design. It’s cheap, efficient, easy to use, and

utterly satisfying when in a crunch for time. So, whether you’re a designer who needs a quick fix, or a newbie to the land of design and marketing for your business, today I’m going to share with you some helpful design “untangling” tips to give your designs the *POW!* they really need -- and in such a way that it’s not recognizable that you’re even using Canva at all.


Here's what we will be untangling in this episode ...


  • 8 types of can photo searchable terms you need to know
  • 4 major Canva integrations to make your life easier
  • 5 steps to creating transparent text effects
  • How to create text masks for images
  • How to design a powerful presentation (for PowerPoint)
  • A lovely bundle of need-to-know design tips
