    The art and science of design is a beautiful skill set to bring to a team, a brand, or a marketing campaign. For businesses on a short timeline, on a budget, or embracing a DIY model, Canva is a top option.

    The path to creating impactful branded graphics, posters, presentations, and social media content on Canva is significantly shorter than learning other graphic design programs. Click and drag tools and layout are intuitive, and the app excels at simplifying the tasks users do most.

    Canva can be used for free, is great for online collaboration, and will automatically resize designs for use across your platforms. This one-hour class is perfect for entrepreneurs looking to build a strong visual identity — no design experience required. A repeat of our popular session, ideal for anyone who missed it or wants a refresher.
