When you feel like an imposter
“I use Canva A LOT. My clients find it super simple (mostly!) so it just makes sense. I’ve never learned how to use Illustrator/Photoshop etc but I feel like I should…? I think it would be a good skill to have and could be a benefit to my business in terms of being taken seriously with design/graphics/socials work. But I haven’t a clue where to start! Or if it’s even a good idea or not. It probably also stems back to being told I wasn’t very creative when I was younger… hello imposter syndrome! Any thoughts welcome!”
