Hands up πŸ™Œ if you were obsessed with Yellowstone too? 🐎

As a child & teen, my happy place was sitting tall in the saddle of my horses, inhaling that distinct leather & horse smell (IYKYK) & riding through the bush without a care in the world.

While I don't have horses anymore, I'll forever be a horse girlie at heart, so it's little wonder that Yellowstone's popularity seems to have given 'western' vibe a fresh lease on life, & I'm absolutely here for it.

I wish I'd done it sooner, but the inspiration struck to create something fun, just for the sake of it!
So I put together these gorgeous colour palettes as a nod to the rugged, dusty & for the sake of it, and put together these colour palettes as a nod to one of my favourite shows ever.

This could be a fun series to get into - getting inspired by tv shows, movies or culture & turning them into colour palettes & brand inspo, what do you think?

Drop your suggestion in the comments & don't forget to save this for inspiration too!

You've got the right intentions when it comes to creating your business content, but somehow it always feels like pushing a boulder uphill.

That sense of dread every time you open Canva to 'quickly whip up a post' but before you know it you've spent hours & end up not posting because it doesn't look or feel right.

Maybe you're wasting a tonne of time fluffing around in Canva searching for cool templates (that everyone else also uses), but then you need to spend more time tweaking colours, fonts, images, alignments etc that it ends up looking like a hot mess & nothing like what you started with.

Or maybe you're staring at that blank screen hoping inspiration will strike.

Either way, chances are you're not happy with what you've created, so you're posting something that doesn't look or feel right, or worse still, you're not posting at all.

If you've recognised yourself in any of this, you're in the right place.

Creating amazing content for your business doesn't need to be hard, nor should it be taking up a huge chunk of your time every week.

Instead, what if you could create content on repeat every month that you were actually proud as heck to post. Content that showcased your brand, built connection, recognition & trust with your dream audience, all in a fraction of the time & without getting lost down the Canva rabbit hole?

πŸ‘‰ If this is you, I'd love to work with you! DM me & let's connect.

If ever you've wanted a sneak peak behind my design process, now's your chance!

From mood board to template design & seeing the templates actually being used 'for real life', this is a look behind the creation curtain on one of my recent projects (& I'm still utterly obsessed with the results).

These template designs aren't cookie cutter off-the-shelf Canva vibes.

Every single design was built with strategy & intention to showcase my client's brand story, so every single post she creates for her business feels magnetic & instantly recognisable.

And this is why her templates are working for her (receipt on the 2nd last slide):
πŸ–€ she's posting consistent, on-brand content which builds recognition
πŸ–€ the strategy behind every single design builds connection with her audience
πŸ–€ each design builds confidence, both from her audience AND in her own ability to nail her content.

πŸ‘‰ If you want to stop wasting precious time on generic Canva fluff & instead have your own custom designed bank of Instagram templates that capture your brand story & make creating your content simple, quick & cohesive, your next step is The Social Suite...

Remember, you control what you consume on social media πŸ–€

As business owners, we've got to spend some time on social media, that's just a fact. But it's up to us to decide what we consume, and how we consume it.

Slow down & scroll with intention, instead of the mindless doom-scrolling loop we all get caught in.
Then watch your productivity & creativity skyrocket!

When strategy, branding & aesthetic content design come together in the most scroll stopping ways πŸ”₯

Here's some of the swoon worthy social media template suites & Instagram feeds I've designed lately for my clients across different industries:
πŸ’„ luxe lip gloss & beauty
πŸ™ motherhood wellness & mindset
πŸŽ™οΈ wedding singer
πŸͺ΄indoor plant delivery

I'm obsessed.

If you can imagine your social media looking this good, let's make it happen. DM 'SOCIAL SUITE' & I'll send you the details.

This is where every single one of my client projects start - with a strong, cohesive mood-board 🌿

These 3 mood-board concepts are for a women's wellness & spa retreat in Bali 🌴

Each one brings a different energy, feel & direction for their overall brand & the direction I would take designing their social media templates:

πŸ’š calming, grounded greens & stone
🩡 fluid, cooling shades of rich teal
πŸ–€ soothing, deep neutrals for an earthy feel

I'd love to know which you connect with most?

πŸ“’ The mood boards I create for my clients aren't just pretty to look at. There's actually a tonne of strategy & intention behind each one, because they set the tone for the entire project overall.

From colour palette to imagery, textures & the overall vibe we want to showcase for your brand & business, I'll design my client's mood boards before I design a single template.

If your visuals & graphics are feeling off when you're creating your social media graphics & content, it could be because you haven't got a cohesive vision for your brand yet.

Let's fix that & get everything working in harmony together, so you're not spending hours chasing your tail creating graphics that don't align with the business you're building.

DM or comment SOCIAL SUITE & I'll send you the details of how we can work together.

You see beautiful designs, an aesthetic Instagram feed & snapshots of the amazing client projects I'm honoured to bring to life πŸ–€

But there's so much more behind the scenes that you don't see, or I rarely let you in on. And maybe that should change a little?

Whether you're new here, or you've been with me for a while, hi πŸ‘‹

I'm Alannah, a 40-something year old woman, proud mum of 2 & wife of a FIFO husband. A creative small business owner, lover of aesthetics, beautiful imagery & the ocean, finding my balance & boundaries, a (self imposed) perfectionist & recovering people pleaser πŸ€—

The truth is, I've always felt as a designer that I should show the stunning end result.
The perfect outcome as opposed to, shall we say, the 'messier' stuff in between...

But I've realised it's the 'in between' that gives me a unique edge. Who I am behind the scenes directly contributes to who I am as a designer & business owner. And I need to celebrate & honour that more.

And maybe this is your reminder that behind every curated Instagram account is a real person just like you, trying to work it out as we go along 🫢

So keep going my friend.

You're exactly where you need to be, and I'm truly so thankful you're part of my community!

Sure, those generic Canva templates you've been grappling with might be cute, but why would you want your business to look like everyone else's online? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

What really moves the dial forward is having custom designed, aesthetic content, graphics & documents; backed with strategy & intention, created specifically for your business & brand.

That's the kind of transformation my clients see when we work together (but don't just take my word for it, see for yourself!) πŸ”₯

Each of my signature design packages (check the last slide) give you everything you need to confidently & consistently show up online, from social media content to service guides, lead magnets & more.

A professional brand across the board, no matter where your audience finds you. That's what really attracts those dream clients. All without wasting hours of your time trying to DIY in Canva & ending up looking like everyone else in your industry.

If you're ready to start growing your business, send me a DM or leave a πŸ–€ in the comments & I'll be in touch.

I don't know about you, but if I'm squinting to read something as I'm scrolling, I generally don't bother πŸ‘€πŸ”

When you're spending so much time creating your content, at least make it readable!

Listen, I'm an aesthetic girlie at heart & love a fancy design as much as the next person. But if you want someone to actually read your post, you need to give them a reason to stop scrolling πŸ›‘

If you use Canva to create your content, keep reading for my favourite tip to check text sizes are readable, you're going to love it!

Does that mean make all your text gigantic & fill up every slide? NO! (But I'll get into that on another post πŸ˜‰)

If you want me to cast my designer eye over your feed & give you a couple of freebie tips on your text, drop a πŸ–€ in the comments πŸ‘‡

And for more Canva & design tips that'll have you creating big impact content without losing your mind, drop me a follow!
