NEW 2021 calendar template now live 🎉⚡️⁣
⁣
I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a year of uncertain times! So let's set up 2021 to be a year full of finding your feet, starting fresh, starting something new, setting new goals, fiddling, fixing and adjusting your life and/or your business to how you want it.⁣
⁣
That's exactly why this calendar has been created as a template. It's something you can make your own and will allow you to plan how you want to approach the new year ahead. ⁣⁣
⁣
In the image gallery, I’ve created some examples of how the template can be customised with different fonts and colours ✨ ⁣
⁣
Make it your own! Whether you want a calendar just for yourself with the style that suits you or one that matches your brand that you can print out and gift to your favourite clients or customers, it's something you can get a little creative with.⁣
⁣
There's enough room to write in each day so you can actually USE the calendar to plan our your weeks, months and year!⁣
⁣
This template is great if you want to:⁣
- create your very own custom calendar for your office⁣ / home
- create a brand-aligned calendar that has tips and tricks specific to your business which you can print out and gift to your clients or customers⁣
- make a calendar that has all the motivational quotes you absolutely love⁣
- use those photos that have been sitting on your computer forever for something good! Use them in the calendar so you can look at a new image each month⁣

This or that?⁣
⁣
When it comes to designs, there are certain principles and guidelines you can follow to achieve a good design.⁣
⁣
White space is one of these design principles I like to ensure is utilised in my design work.⁣
⁣
Now, the hard part is, design is subjective, meaning, you could creative something that you absolutely LOVE, but others may not have the same view as you. ⁣
⁣
In the two examples I provided here, there is no right or wrong - one simply works better in regards to white space and leading the eye around the design 🙂⁣
⁣
Any questions? Let me know! 👇🏼

The templates are live! 🎉⁣
⁣
Eeeek! It’s finally the day to launch and I’m SO excited!⁣
⁣
There has been so many long days and late nights getting the templates ready to launch (and big underestimations of how long things will take 😅) but it’s finally ready!⁣
⁣
I’ve had the idea of creating designer templates for a long time now but was really called to it after the push of COVID - many people are changing up their lives with the current circumstances this pandemic has brought and are wanting to take control and start their own business or side hustle. ⁣
⁣
I know what it’s like to run a business - you have SO many things on your to do list - and one of them being “get graphic design done for xyz”. ⁣
⁣
Being a professional designer, I am all for getting graphic design done by a professional if you can! But I know that it may not be on the cards for some people in what ever stage of business you are in.⁣
⁣
So it’s my aim that these templates will help make things a little easier for you! ⁣
⁣
These templates work best if you have had a designer create your logo and overall brand style already so you can easily flow this through the templates in a consistent and sustainable way. ⁣
⁣
I’m hanging around the socials today so hit me up if you have any questions at all 🥰😘⁣
⁣
Thank you so much for everyone who has given me a little celebration message for the launch! You all mean so much to me 💛⁣
⁣
Yay! ⁣

⁠
How did you start out in the industry?⁠
⁠
I started in the creative industry when I began university here on the Sunshine Coast in 2011. Since then, I have taken on multiple unpaid internships, self-education and agency work to gain as much experience as possible.⁠
⁠
From there, I quickly learned I didn’t like having a boss and really wanted to make more of an impact… so I thought the best way to do this was work for myself where I can be in charge of how my business grew, who I worked with and what projects I worked on. ⁠
⁠
Now, in 2020, I have worked for myself for over 6 years and would never look back! ⁠
⁠
Tip: learn from others as much as possible. ⁠
I found working in agencies incredibly helpful in working for myself later on - I learned so many skills required for self-employment such as: how to quote, invoice, project-manage, time management, how to liaise with clients and SO much more, simply by learning from others with experience.

THIS IS IT! 🎉⁣
⁣
I am soooo excited (and very nervous) to announce that my pivot in business is to launch a range of template designs and resources! ⁣
⁣
I have created Designer Templates and Resources for business owners just like yourself. ⁣
⁣
Why?⁣
⁣
Since the start of 2020, things have been turned upside down. I don't need to tell you how much of an impact COVID has had on everyone, including me (hello Perth)! ⁣
⁣
I have seen so many changes in the world and many of us have been forced to evolve and adapt to a world full of uncertainty and instability. ⁣
⁣
Because of this, I have seen so many people take this as an opportunity to take control of their own life and work for themselves! Which I am SO excited about because it is such a challenging yet rewarding journey to be on 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
Now there are more people working for themselves than ever before AND because these times can be tough for businesses I felt drawn to do something to help. I really want to make a difference by helping these brave new business owners / entrepreneurs / boss woman and men / inspiring humans empower themselves in creating their own consistent and sustainable graphic designs in a cost effective way for their business. ⁣
⁣
The launch date is being announced on Friday 🎉 and I’ll of course be filling you all in with more deets in the coming days. ⁣
