Starter Brand Success Kit
Ever found yourself staring at a blank file, feeling stuck — even though you know exactly what you want to say?
You sit down to create a carousel post, scroll through the template library, and try a few options that seem promising…
…but the moment you start adding your content, everything feels cramped, awkward, or off.
So you switch templates. Again. And again.
Every tool, template, and website builder promises to make things “easy” — yet somehow, you end up spending more time making this stuff than actually running your business.
Imagine how much extra time you’d have in your workday if you could open Canva and actually pull something together - without the endless changes, questioning, or temptation to scrap it all and start again.
What if you could reach for a template that’s already aligned with your brand — and actually know how to make it work?
It would be such a relief to hit publish on a post or send out a pricing guide and not feel embarrassed by how it looks.
You see other people’s social feeds, landing pages, or course materials and wish yours could look like that… but the execution never quite matches the idea.
You have a decent enough eye to know what looks good, but no matter how hard you try, you feel like most of your graphics and materials look…. bad.
You know your freebie is valuable, but it never looks as good as you know it could. Your paid offers are even better, but you worry people won’t see past what they look like.
Your webinars are always packed with useful content, but thinking about how long it’s going to take to build the next slide deck makes you want to abandon it.
You’ve tried dozens (or hundreds 😭) of templates that you thought would fix everything, but they never seem to look as good once you add your content.
Maybe you’ve had the thought:
“I’m just not creative enough to do this stuff.”
But here’s the truth: creativity isn’t the issue. And no one is born knowing how to do this.
Design is a practical skill - one that can be learned, practiced, and improved over time.
Ask me how I know… (DON’T ask to see any of my design school projects 😅)
Here’s the part most people miss:
Understanding a few core design basics can completely change how it feels to create content for your business. Once you have the right skills and a clear system to fall back on, you stop second-guessing, switching templates, and starting over.
That’s why I created Starter Brand Success Kit - to help you turn ideas into on-brand content, without the endless frustration.
Introducing:
Starter Brand Success Kit
Build the foundation of skills and systems you need to create content and materials with ease.
You’ll learn the basics of design for online business, then apply them through a structured branding project using my curated library of fonts, colour palettes, stock photos, and template sets - giving you both the underlying knowledge and practical starting points to support everything you create next.
“Emily’s process is so easy and straightforward… it’s like she went inside my brain and made sense of the chaos.”

Is this you right now?
❌ You waste hours trawling through templates or tweaking posts, slide decks, and PDFs… only to scrap them and start over.
❌ You hate how most of your content looks, and feel tempted to change everything each time you sit down to make something new.
❌ You put off working on your next offer because thinking about all the graphics, pages, and materials you’ll need to create feels completely overwhelming.
That could all change with Starter Brand Success Kit:
🎉 You’ll have a clear, established set of brand elements you can reach for every time you need to create content or materials.
🎉 You won’t ever have to start from scratch — you’ll have guidelines, templates, and real examples that show you how to use those elements consistently.
🎉 You’ll understand the basic design principles behind what works, so you can confidently tweak layouts, templates, or designs when something feels off.
🎉 You’ll have a simple, repeatable system you can return to whenever you’re creating something new — whether that’s a post, a freebie, or a brand-new offer.
Templates work - but they’re only half the picture.
That’s why Starter Brand Success Kit combines foundational design skills with ready-to-use resources, so you’re not just picking layouts — you’re learning how and why they work, and how to adapt them for your own content and materials.
Here’s the breakdown:
Module #1
Basic Design Skills Every Online Business Owner Should Have
In Module #1, we’ll cover the essential design principles and skills that make creating content and materials for your online business easier.
You’ll learn key concepts like hierarchy, scale, alignment, and balance, and see clear examples of each in practice. Through simple, practical exercises in Canva, you’ll learn how to spot and fix common issues for yourself.
Module #2
Build Out Your Brand Basics
In Module #2, you’ll use my curated Notion Resource Library of logo fonts, colour palettes, stock photo libraries and more to establish a consistent look you can reuse across every area of your business.
Grab one of the pre-made brand kits and run with it, or follow the simple video tutorials to customise and combine elements into something that finally feels aligned with your work.
Module #3
Get Set Up in Canva
In Module #3, I’ll walk you through setting up your Brand Kit in Canva, so everything you need is ready to go when you sit down to create.
With your brand elements in place, I’ll show you the tools and shortcuts that help you work faster — making it easier to create graphics, documents, and slide decks without wasting time fighting the platform.
Module #4
Build Your Template Library
In the final module, you’ll build out your own template library in Canva using my collection of tried and tested layouts for social posts (including Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest), PDFs, webinar slide decks, and more.
Each set is designed to adapt seamlessly to your brand elements in just a few clicks. You’ll also get an easy-to-follow tutorial showing you how to apply your brand elements consistently, plus guidance on fixing common issues.

I’m Emily Banks — a brand designer and strategist with over a decade of experience working with online business owners.
Over the years, I’ve worked with dozens of smart, capable people who know the value of what they offer — but struggle to make what they create look as good as the work behind it.
I created Starter Brand Success Kit as a way to pass on what I’ve learned from years of designing for clients, as well as running my own business solo — sharing the approaches and systems I rely on to create effectively as a team of one.
Inside SBSK, I break down the design fundamentals that matter most, reveal the tools and resources I rely on in my own work, and show you how to apply everything in a practical, repeatable way — so creating what your business needs doesn’t have to feel like a constant uphill battle.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
No! Anything you know aready will be helpful, but I’ll be walking you through the basics in Module 1, and each resource will also have a video tutorial showing you exactly how to use it. If you need help with the basics of Canva, I recommend taking a look at their 60min Canva Essentials program to familiarize yourself with the app.
-
Canva Pro/Canva for Business is not necessary to be able to take Starter Brand Success Kit, but a paid plan is strongly recommended in order to take full advantage of the course.
