About your trainer:

“I’m Laura, a Canva Creator and Canvassador. I help small business owners use Canva with confidence to create visuals that strengthen their branding, marketing, and everyday content.  I work closely with entrepreneurs to make Canva a practical part of their business toolkit, whether that’s building consistent branding, designing social media content, or creating visuals for launches, presentations, and promotions.

Through my memberships, courses, and YouTube tutorials, I teach simple, effective design skills that save time, elevate professionalism, and help businesses connect more powerfully with their audience. I also design templates for Canva’s global library, giving thousands of businesses access to ready-to-use, beautifully designed content.

At the heart of my work is one clear goal: to make great design achievable, even for those who don’t see themselves as “creative” so small businesses can grow with more confidence and ease.”
