4 years ago, slid into my DMs to chat about doing a collab post. We vibed immediately. (She’s a die hard Canva fan so obviously we were going to be friends.)

Fast forward to 2024 and she asks “hey you have anything booked for June 1st? Dying to have you at this event I’m running.”

That was the first AthleteCon.

Last year, at AthleteCon 2.0, I stood in front of the room and told the athletes to pause and take in that moment. Because we were all witnessing history being made with what Sam was building in the NIL space.

This year at AthleteCon 3.0 the event had 500 people.

My session was on using Canva to build your brand system from the ground up. Brand kits, media kits, public view links, analytics, and I shared my own story about how I’ve used Canva to power my content and storytelling.

Sam makes sure no athlete wastes the opportunity in front of them. The athletes aren’t just attendees to her. She LOVES them, and they love her.

So proud of you, Sam! And I can’t wait for .con 4.0 🥰

Used some of Canva’s newer features to bring this fictional action figure to life! I grew up watching wrestling. I also grew up watching stop motion. Put ‘em both together and here’s what popped out 🔥

What’s one thing you would bring to life?

3 Ways to Fix Your Designs. Comment “FIX” to get my free guide “10 quick fixes for bad designs”.

1️⃣ Don’t cram everything in

Remember that scene in ratatouille where Linguini is throwing a whole bunch of ingredients into the soup and ruining it? Unless you’re going for a maximalist design style, it may be best to pare down what’s in your design. And remember, on social media we have the caption where we can offer additional context. So focus on only putting the most important items in your design.

2️⃣ Use proper alignment

Alignment is a great way to direct the reader’s eyes. It gives order to your designs so it doesn’t feel visually chaotic and is easy to read.

3️⃣ Consistent colors

This one is a bit more zoomed out. When looking at your overall brand and designs, are there common visual themes/colors/textures? Using those consistently help create a recognizable brand.

Part 34 🔥 Things You Can Do In Canva

When I’m traveling for workshops and trainings, I’m often making final tweaks to my presentations. Sometimes that means editing on a plane or in a spot with zero WiFi or terrible connection.

Canva’s offline mode has saved me from the pit of despair many times. You can edit what’s already in your design, add shapes and grids, upload images. Everything syncs back up once you’re online again. Supa clutch for staying productive when you’re on the go!

I’ve performed at 3 of the last 4 Canva Create events. What started as a simple song on my Instagram (Canva Love Song) has bloomed into one of the coolest brand friendships I’ve ever been a part of 🥰.

I’m rapping in a different way this year at Canva Create! I’ll be teaching Design Labs with Meta, Amazon, PayPal, and more!

Are you gonna be there? If so, come find me at Canva’s biggest party of the year!

🎥 Thank you for capturing video of that first performance from 2022 back in Sydney Australia!

Part 32 🔥 Things You Can Do In Canva

Canva has a Countdown Timer app you can add to your designs! Search for it in the Apps Marketplace, plug in your event date and time, tweak the colors, and you’re set.

I’ve found the best use case for this is if you’re sharing a presentation or design using a public view link, or adding it to to Canva Website. These are great for building anticipation around launches, webinars, or events.
