Hi, my name is Greg. I have spent the last 2 decades of my professional career as a designer, a photographer, a programmer, a blogger, and an entrepreneur. I'm also a husband and a father of 3 so I have a great appreciation for everyone seeking to find the right work/life balance. That's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about teaching others not just the software skills that will drive their professional lives forward, but also the smart workflow approaches that will give them back time.
My main areas of focus are design and photography, but I also love programming, database design, and pretty much anything related to entrepreneur life.
I look forward to sharing with you my knowledge of (and passion for) software. My goal is to not just help you become proficient in your use of the software, but to help you work smarter and more efficiently.
cheers,
Greg

Because I'm working as a customer service host at Walmart and I want to get into a better job so I can pay off all my debts and you're helping me get there to my career goal. If I can get work starting out making more money and working as a canva technician more than I would make working for Walmart that would mean so much to me. I really mean it I am really desperate for a better job!

I am halfway through this course and am extremely pleased with the knowledge I have gained about Canva. Recently, I assisted a friend with a project, and she asked about how I acquired the skills I was using. This experience highlights how quickly I am able to apply what I have learned. I'm really glad I chose this class and I am excited for what's to come. Thank you!

I really enjoyed the content of this course and found the instructor’s teaching style very effective. It’s a solid course overall, but I noticed a few areas that need a refresh to stay current with industry standards. Specifically: Outdated UI: In the Canva section, the 'Filter Code' (Adjust) option is now closed/deprecated, but the lesson continues as if it’s there, which was a bit confusing to follow. Broken Link: The practice file link in Section 8 appears to be broken. With these updates, this would easily be a 5-star course! Still worth taking for the core concepts.

I was personally already using Canva but wanted to amp up my game by learning some graphic designing and also some other features. The course was nice, but it was very long and at a certain point, it was becoming boring since the creator was repeating same points in a longer format. Overall, the course was helpful but the creator shall shorten it to only the important and concise parts.

This tutor is clear, to the point, and if the start is anything to go by, well, the rest also will be as amazing. Let me explain. I browsed for a Canva tutorial, because earlier, I had subscribed to a Graphics Designing course, and the inability of the course instructor (let's keep him anonymous, shall we) to explain concepts in as simple a manner for my non graphics mentality to fathom just shut me out. And here I am. Five stars for a clear, no-frills explaination.

This course is incredibly thorough! The instructor has a great way of explaining things step-by-step, which finally unlocked the mysteries of Canva for me. He's also very easy to listen to! Finally, a Canva course that makes sense! His step-by-step method and clear explanations make even the more complex features simple to grasp. A comprehensive and highly enjoyable learning. experience.

Yup lots of fundamentals stuff which I should have I known. Yes. Good course but will definitely want more real life projects starting from just a mere photo. I really love the challenge number 3 where we can really apply what we have learnt. Is it possible to include more real life projects in photopea as well?

This course is amazing! I wanna thank Greg for putting together such a powerful and very informative course that is easy to follow. I have learned so much from him. I also like the way he teaches and explains things, everything was very clear. I wish he had more courses on graphic design and photo editing here in Udemy. I feel like a pro in using Canva now that I literally knew nothing about before buying this course. Thank you Greg! You’re awesome.

This course is a baby-step tutorial for those who want to take the first leap into digital graphic design, very simple examples, mini challenge exercises, that introduces the main feature that Canva does the best and just a bit further on the last section with a tool that exactly the same to Photoshop. It is an excellent guide for the beginner!
