Teaching small business owners how to create their own designs - DIYing without the "DIY" look. Hello! I’m Jacqui. Because I've been there.
Graphic designer turned online design teacher for small biz owners. My dream is to help you create a brand and graphics (with your own hands and creativity — yes, you have some!) for your incredible small business that calls from the rooftops to your dream client, “pick me!”. I’ve been a fledgeling new business that just didn’t have the funds to hire all the pros...so, I did it myself (and so can you).

30 minutes. One brief. Two designers.
We documented the full challenge where Vanessa and I broke down the strategy behind designing a pilates studio logo in 30 minutes...
..including the moment I accidentally designed a logo that looked like an eyelash 💜

My honest opinion about AI as a graphic designer 👇
I'm not a fan of AI images or those AI-generated posters and flyers that are everywhere right now.
But there's a version of AI I use every single week.
The difference is this: I'm not asking AI to do my thinking for me.
My Canva templates are already designed, brand already considered...and the creative decisions already made.
What I'm handing off is the part that doesn't need a creative brain.
Copying content into slides, swapping images, doing the same mechanical steps on repeat.

Carousel posts don't need to take FOREVER 👀
If you didn't know, Claude can connect to Canva to fill your carousel templates automatically... when you set it up right.
There are a few things that'll slow you down (or give you more work, not less) if you don't know what to watch for.
I cover all of it in the full video on YouTube.

Gathering moments with my babies before a third joins us any day or week now. Thank you for your love and well wishes as I start Mat leave. 💜 And the biggest thank you to my beautiful clients for trusting my team to serve them while I’m away (you’re in THE best hands). And to my team for making it so easy to trust you 💜 Bring on this next chapter.
Your lead magnet is saying something about your brand...
And if it looks "off", people won't even read a word of it.
I did a live design edit this week on one of my student's lead magnets and the fixes were smaller than you'd expect.
But the difference? Not small at all.

Creating carousels used to look like this for me 👇
A lot of copy-pasting and quiet sighing.
But now that's changed, and I'm sharing the Claude x Canva workflow I switched to that makes creating carousels so much easier 💜
Comment "T055" to watch the full Canva tutorial where I break down my process (follow Jacqui Naunton〰️Graphic Design + Canva so it lands in your DMs!)
I redesigned one of my students' lead magnets live on camera this week.
And the mistakes I found?
I see them every single week across hundreds of designs from business owners who are great at what they do...but haven't had a designer look at their work.
