Work Background
Digital Creator
The PlanneriDigital Creator
May. 2024With over 8 years of experience in digital design, e-commerce, and online education, I’ve built a career around creativity, problem-solving, and helping others bring more order and joy to their everyday routines. As the founder of The Planneri, a digital design studio, I create planners, journals, junk journal kits, and printable resources that inspire creativity and support small business owners, crafters, and planners around the world. A core part of my work revolves around Canva, where I’ve developed advanced design skills across layout design, branding, social media graphics, digital product creation, and marketing content. I also teach Canva through my Beginner's and Intermediate courses, helping entrepreneurs and small businesses elevate their visual branding and content strategy. Running an online business has strengthened my skills in content creation, SEO, customer engagement, digital marketing, and online course development. I’m experienced in evaluating content, identifying user needs, and optimising for better audience engagement—skills that are highly transferable to any content-driven or customer-focused role. I’m also highly proficient with Apple products and software, working daily on my Apple MacBook Air with an extended screen and iPad for multitasking across design platforms, research tools, and content management systems. My ability to learn new systems quickly, follow detailed guidelines, and manage projects independently makes me well-suited for flexible, remote work environments. I’m passionate about delivering high-quality work, staying organised, and contributing to teams or projects that value creativity, attention to detail, and audience-focused thinking.
