Designing with Confidence in Canva 
A Professional Development Workshop Series with Aries Art NW

In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently create professional-quality graphics that help your brand stand out. Designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, content creators — or anyone looking to elevate their Canva skills for business or personal projects — this hands-on workshop goes beyond the basics.

We’ll dive deeper into Canva’s tools and features that make brand recognition easier and more consistent, helping you design with intention rather than guesswork. You’ll gain practical strategies for customizing templates, maintaining visual cohesion, and streamlining your design process.

Participation in Part 1 of this series is not required to benefit from this workshop; however, a basic familiarity with Canva will be helpful to ensure you’re able to follow along comfortably. Registration is $10 and is limited to 8 people! 

You’ll learn how to:

• Create branded promotional materials for social media, flyers, events, and marketing
• Save, organize, resize, and export designs properly for different platforms
• Share designs easily with teams, clients, or collaborators
• Build efficient workflows for repeatable, professional design systems

Perfect for:

• Small business owners & entrepreneurs
• Local service providers
• Nonprofits & community organizations
• Content creators
• Event organizers
• Social media managers
• Anyone new to Canva
• Anyone wanting to use Canva more professionally and confidently

Laptops are not required, but are encouraged for participants who wish to follow along in real time, hands-on. Canva Pro is not required for participation; however, some features covered in the workshop are part of Canva Pro and will be referenced for learning purposes.

This workshop is part of a 3-part series taught by Mindie Gum-Grivell of Aries Art NW; participation in all sessions is not required but encouraged for getting the most from Canva!
