202: 3 Canva Hacks to Simplify Your Design Process and Save Time as Online Business Owner

Feel like Canva is stealing your work hours? You’re not alone. But designing your graphics doesn’t have to be an endless time-suck. In this episode, I’m breaking down three simple Canva hacks to help you create better designs, faster.

We’re talking:

• A Brand Kit setup that means no more hunting for fonts and colors every time you start a design.

• Strategic folders so you can actually find what you’ve already made.

• How to keep your designs consistent without second-guessing everything.

And if you’re on Canva Free? I’ve got a sneaky little workaround to make your life easier.

Because honestly, your time is better spent growing your business (or, let’s be real, doing literally anything else) than getting stuck in Canva.
