Start to discover your brand & create on-brand graphics faster using Canva’s AI and my custom Brand Buddy GPT.
This 3-day experience shows you how to combine AI with proper design thinking, so your visuals start to look polished, feel like you and actually support your business. Perfect if you want AI to work with your brand – not water it down.
You open Canva to make “one quick design”... & three hours later, you’re still moving boxes around
You want to understand Canva’s new AI tools – not just what they do, but how to use them properly
You’re ready to spend less time designing & more time actually running your business
You like things that are simple, practical & make your life easier (same here!).
Let’s be honest… Canva is brilliant. But it can also swallow your entire afternoon. You tweak one thing… then another… and somehow hours pass and it still doesn’t quite look right.
That’s exactly why I created Canva AI Made Simple. This isn’t another Canva tutorial. It’s a smarter, designer-led way to use AI, without losing your brand in the process.
Inside this 3-day bootcamp, you’ll combine Canva’s AI tools with my custom Brand Buddy GPT so your brand decisions come first… and Canva simply helps you execute faster.
No guessing. No endless tweaking. Just a clear, confident way to create visuals that get done and out the door with ease.
Canva is rolling out AI features faster than most people can keep up. Magic Studio, Style Match, Ask Canva… clever tools, yes – but also noisy and overwhelming when you’re not sure how to make them work for your brand.
You don’t need more tech tutorials. You need a simple, designer-style process. Because the truth is… AI hasn’t made design easier. It’s made it louder. And when your graphics feel inconsistent or DIY, your confidence takes a knock.
That’s exactly why Canva AI Made Simple focuses on what actually matters: Learning to think like a designer while using AI as your creative sidekick – not the decision-maker.
I’ve been a designer for 30+ years, and I’ve seen this again & again:
When your brand is clear, Canva gets faster. When your process is clear, AI becomes genuinely helpful.
You don’t need more features. You need the system.

Your journey...
Intro
Before we design anything, you’ll learn how to use my custom Brand Buddy GPT – your built-in brand brain.
It helps you clarify your brand vibe and generate smarter prompts for Canva’s AI so everything that follows feels intentional, not random.
DAY 1
Stop guessing what fits your brand. With the Brand Buddy’s help, you’ll run a quick Mini Brand Audit, clarify what’s working (and what’s not) and pull everything into one clear direction.
Walk away with a completed Mini Brand Audit and a simple one-page Brand Vibe to guide every AI prompt going forward.
DAY 2
Let’s make your colours, fonts & logos play nicely together. You’ll use the Brand Buddy GPT & Canva’s AI tools to complete your Brand Kit Snapshot, review and strengthen your Brand Kit, and populate your Brand Kit Guidelines so everything you create starts looking more cohesive and intentional.
Walk away with your completed Canva Brand Kit Guidelines and Snapshot to assist with your creative prompts and keep your visuals consistent (and faster to create).
DAY 3
This is where everything comes together. You’ll learn to use your Brand Vibe and Brand Kit to brief Canva AI properly, choose (or generate) stronger templates and refine your designs. No more endless tweaking. Instead, you’ll follow a simple workflow that helps you create, check and confidently share your visuals.
Walk away with your plug-and-play AI Design Prompt Template and the 5-point Designer’s Eye Checklist to keep every design polished, aligned & ready to publish.
Each step builds on the last, helping you create real designs while putting simple systems in place that make everything click. You’ll learn how to plan before you design, use AI (and the Brand Buddy) to guide decisions, and create visuals that feel clear, consistent & on-brand.

Hey, I’m Miranda Capellino – a designer and brand coach with 30+ years of experience turning DIY chaos into design confidence.
I’ve helped hundreds of business owners build brands that look good and get results. And now, I’m showing you how to do it faster – with AI as your creative sidekick.
I don’t just teach you what buttons to press – I teach you how to think like a designer, so your brand finally looks as professional as it deserves to.
Let’s clear up the most common ones before you dive in…
I know investing in yourself (and your brand) can feel like a big step – so here’s everything you need to know.
Because of PayPal’s current limitations on my side, I’m not able to offer both options on the same checkout page.
So here’s the simple flow:
First, you’ll purchase the Confident Creator option.
Immediately after checkout, you’ll be given the chance to upgrade to the VIP Signature experience if you’d like the live Q&A support.
I know it’s a tiny bit more roundabout than ideal (trust me, I would streamline it if I could!), but the upgrade step is quick and easy to complete.
And honestly? If you want personalised support and the chance to get your questions answered live, the VIP upgrade is so worth it.
If anything feels unclear along the way, just pop me a message - I’m always happy to help (support@mirandacapellino.com).
Each day includes a focused 45-minute live training designed to give you quick, practical wins you can implement straight away.
If you’ve upgraded to VIP, you’ll also get access to a 45-minute small-group Q&A session after each training, where you can ask questions and get extra clarity.
You’ll receive the workbooks and templates to keep and use anytime.
Training replays and access to the Brand Buddy GPT will remain available for 7 days after the bootcamp ends, giving you time to revisit the lessons and complete the exercises while everything is fresh.
Canva AI Made Simple isn’t a “Canva 101” course – it’s best suited for those who already know their way around Canva and want to design smarter, faster and more on-brand.
We’ll be focusing on strategy, workflow and Canva’s AI tools – not where to find the buttons 😉.
👉🏻 If you’ve never used Canva before, I’d recommend starting with my Canva Quickstart Mini Course first – it’s short, beginner-friendly and will give you the confidence you need to get the most out of this training.
Nope! Everything is done inside Canva. You can absolutely use the free version, but Canva Pro is a very good investment – it unlocks features like Copy Art Style, Magic Media and Brand Kits that we’ll use throughout the 3 days.
👉🏻 Grab a free 30-day Canva Pro trial here.
This isn’t a “build your Brand Kit from scratch” course.
Instead, we focus on using Canva’s AI tools (and the Brand Buddy) to enhance and strengthen what you already have, so your visuals look more cohesive, consistent and professional.
You’ll be guided every step of the way with structured lessons, clear workflows and the Brand Buddy acting as your on-demand design assistant.
And if you decide you’d like ongoing feedback, live support and access to all future programmes, that’s exactly what Design Your Brand Academy is there for.
Most courses show you which buttons to press. I show you how to think like a designer – how to plan, brief AI and refine your work so everything you create looks intentional and professional.
It’s not about learning every Canva feature. It’s about learning the ones that actually make your brand stand out.
Because this is a digital programme, refunds aren’t available.
That said, everything inside is practical, easy to follow and designed to give you quick wins from the very start – so you can begin seeing progress straight away.
