Welcome back to The Brand Standard. It’s a new month and that means a new topic. This month I will be covering unpopular opinions. In this episode, I’m giving the unpopular opinion that Canva is not the place that you design your BRAND. Canva does not make you a graphic designer and Canva is not the place to design logos and branded social media graphics. Now if this upsets you that’s okay just keep listening because I share with you why I believe this and what I recommend to do instead of Canva.

While you can start out on Canva and I completely understand why many do, you shouldn’t stay on Canva long term for your branding, exactly why I recommend a brand designer and all the benefits your business will reap from doing so! Be sure to listen in and leave a review!
