No. Most Canva branding courses teach you tricks and hacks, templates, and how to make things look pretty on the surface. I don’t teach how to use Canva. I teach you the foundations (clarity and strategy) that make branding work and the proven process I use to build strategic brand identities so you aren’t just winging it… you are executing a plan that ensures your brand identity and graphics actually have a purpose. Canva is just the tool we use to execute the strategy.

No. That’s the whole point. The Clarity Before Canva framework and process is adapted specifically for people who don’t have design skills. You don’t need design skills to build a brand identity that reflects your expertise. You just need the right foundation and guidance. You’ll also learn simple design principles you can apply in Canva.

Yes. I’m not teaching you how to use Canva or navigate the tool… I’m teaching you the strategic foundations and simple design principles that make your branding and graphics work. You need to already be comfortable using Canva, know how to add elements and work your way around the platform. If you’ve never used Canva before, spend some time learning the basics first, then come back when you’re ready. This is about clarity, strategy, and execution in Canva, not Canva tutorials.

Yes. What I teach requires Canva Pro features like Brand Kit setup, transparent PNG backgrounds, and SVG downloads. These aren’t optional… they’re essential to building a strategic brand identity. If you don’t have Canva Pro yet, you’ll need to upgrade before starting. The good news is that Canva Pro is affordable and pays for itself once you have a brand that lets you charge what you’re worth.

The process works regardless of where you are in your brand building journey. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been operating for years, my framework is the same… clarity, strategy, and execution in Canva. The main difference is that new coaches, consultants, and social media managers are building their brand foundation from scratch, while established ones are often refining or rebranding what they already have. Both get the same framework and proven process.

Start by asking yourself… Do I work best independently with clear guidance, or do I need someone to review my work and keep me accountable? If you’re self-motivated and just need the framework and proven process, the challenge is perfect. If you want feedback and support to make sure you’re on track, go with challenge + 1:1 support & feedback. If you want a partner you can collaborate with and co-create your strategic brand identity in real time, the 1:1 collaboration & co-creation is the way to go. Still unsure? Reach out and I’ll help you figure it out.

For the challenge only and challenge + 1:1 support & feedback, plan for 3-5 hours per week. It’s self-paced, so you can spread it out or batch it depending on your schedule. For the 1:1 collaboration & co-creation, we’ll have scheduled live sessions each week (typically 1-2 hours), plus time between sessions for you to build and refine. The goal isn’t to rush… it’s to build something that actually works.

Yes, but only by upgrading. If you start with the challenge only option and realize you want personalized feedback and support, you can upgrade to the challenge + 1:1 support & feedback option by paying the difference. Same goes for upgrading from the 1:1 support option to the full collaboration & co-creation. You can’t downgrade once you’ve started, but you can always level up if you need more guidance along the way.
