About our facilitator
Kelly Weekes is a Marketing Mentor and Confidence and Mindset Coach for authors.

She will use this session to show you how she does that.

About the workshop
Canva is a graphic design platform that provides users with the tools for creating social media graphics, presentations, promotional materials and websites. Launched in Australia in 2013, the service offers design tools for individuals and companies, enabling them to create anything in a snap – from presentations and logos to social media posts. Best of all, no design skill or experience is required to create any type of design using Canva’s drag-and-drop feature or its wide variety of free templates. It’s also possible to customise your designs for any occasion in just a few clicks. During this workshop, Kelly will be demonstrating a range of Canva tools by way of introducing you to an easy way of enhancing your marketing materials and stationery – just as she has done.
