AFFINITY DESIGNER WORKSHOP

SIGN UP FOR THE FREE 3-DAY WORKSHOP

Professional design software doesn’t need to be overwhelming, and you don’t need to spend hours on YouTube teaching yourself the basics.

In this three day virtual workshop happening Monday, June 26 to Wednesday, June 28 from 1 pm - 2pm EST via Zoom, I will teach you the basics of Affinity Designer, an easy-to-learn design program that you can use to create vector graphics for web, print, social media, logos, and brand identities.

Learning professional design software has never been easier!

Karla's knowledge of Affinity Designer is amazing!

“Karla's knowledge of Affinity Designer is amazing! Affinity Designer is a brand new program for me and she was able to break it down into manageable components that were easy to put into action. I am excited to continue playing with this new software and cannot thank Karla enough for giving me the confidence to learn and explore!”

Stop saying “someday” to your dream of becoming more fluent in graphic design and let’s learn it together!

Hi I'm Karla

I'M A DESIGNER, BRANDING EXPERT, MOM &
BRAND DESIGN STUDIO FOUNDER

I always loved the phrase, "be the person you needed when you were younger."

Going back to my early years when I was learning graphic design I would have LOVED to have a mentor. I had talented professors, but there was never enough 1:1 time in the classroom. I often turned to my peers who were a little ahead of me and they helped me improve my skills the most.

I created The Brand Design Academy to share the knowledge I’ve collected from my 15+ years of experience in the corporate, agency, and freelance world.

My dream is for you to wake up everyday and feel excited to do work you're passionate about… and I'm here to help you along that journey!

I loved the way she structured the workshop and the homework was fun and challenging!

“I hadn't heard of Affinity Designer, but when I heard that Karla used it to create her beautiful logos for clients and that it was a few steps up from Canva, I knew I needed to try it. I loved the way she structured the workshop and the homework was fun and challenging! Having the Facebook group to share the homework with was also a great added bonus. I can't wait to learn with Karla again!”

Go from design curious to design confident in just 3 days!

I was looking for a way to up-level my skills with a design software program other than Canva and this was perfect!

Karla is a great teacher.

“Karla is a great teacher. She has tons of experience and it's apparent she's very passionate about what she does.
