But why should you learn Canva from me?
I’ll briefly introduce myself: my name is Pierluigi and I’m a full-time designer with over 8 years of experience.
After graduating with a BA Graphic Design from one of the top Design Universities in London I worked and managed hundreds of design projects for companies of all sizes and tech backgrounds, from Fortune 500 companies to Million-Dollar Companies that needed to raise their next round of funding.
On the side, I have also designed over 20 design products and my designs have been downloaded over 50000+ times.
I also have a design channel on Youtube with over 500 videos and I’m active on Dribbble and Instagram with over 30000 followers cumulatively.
I had a deep passion for design ever since I was in high school and since this industry gave me so much, I want to give back by sharing the knowledge I gathered as a designer over all these years.
So join me today in this course and let's learn Canva, so that you can bring your designs to the next level.
