Hi, I'm Tavica

A certified marketer and Canva user for 7+ years. I’ve created graphics for tens of businesses across different industries, from quick social posts to polished presentations. My happy place is teaching beginners and helping things “click,” which is why I built this course. It blends two things I enjoy, creating with Canva and helping people do things they thought they couldn't.
