​​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.

Thank you!
In this three-day virtual workshop happening Monday, March 2 to Wednesday, March 4 from 1 pm - 2pm EST via Zoom, I will teach you the basics of Affinity, 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 is amazing! 

“Karla's knowledge of Affinity is amazing! Affinity 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!” 
​JENNA STOKES

Stop saying “someday” to your dream of becoming more fluent in graphic design and let’s learn 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 20 years of experience in the corporate, agency, and freelance world.
​
My dream is for you to wake up every day and feel excited to do work you’re passionate about… and I’m here to help you along that journey every step of the way.​

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

“I hadn't heard of Affinity, 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!”

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

I feel much more confident ​going forward!

“Design software can feel overwhelming, but Karla did a great job of breaking it down into the most important tools and how to use them. The assignments and her examples made it easy to experiment and get designing. I feel much more confident going forward!”

I highly recommend her kind approach to teaching.

“Karla is a wonderful, warm, supportive, and encouraging teacher. Through her, I discovered the basics of how to use Affinity, and I highly recommend her kind and effective approach to teaching everyone, including newbies, how to use her favourite design software.”

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. I am very familiar with Adobe Illustrator and was hesitant to learn a new program but Karla made it so much easier to learn some main tools to get started, so much so, that I just signed up for the course and am so excited to learn more!”

It was so much easier to learn Affinity with someone showing you what to do.
