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!”

​​​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.​

Go from design curious to confident in just 3 days!

If you’ve been wanting to learn professional design software but didn’t know where to start, this workshop will give you the foundation you need.

Perfect for anyone who has opened design software and felt overwhelmed, is curious about brand design, or wants to understand the tools professional designers use to create logos and brand visuals with confidence.
​
When you enroll, you'll receive:
✔ Access to all three workshop sessions

✔ Exercises to practice what you learn

​No design degree required!
