Hi, I'm Melanie

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Marketing for realtors wasn't always my jam. In fact, it all started with a little white lie! I landed a marketing  gig at a boutique real estate office, even though design felt like a foreign language. But that leap of faith turned out to be the best one I ever took.

Those early days were a crash course in design. Forget Canva – back then, it was all about mastering the complexities of Photoshop and Illustrator. (Thousands of hours later, let's just say I know my way around a design program or two!)

Now, with years of experience under my belt, I get the real struggle realtors face with design overwhelm. That's why I created 5 Days to Canva – a course designed to empower YOU to ditch the design drama and rock your marketing with confidence!

I was worried it was 
another waste of time course...

but the way you presented it was absolutely perfect! If you ever teach more please let me know! Or if you even charge for more courses I’m in!!!"

- Teri Marshall, ROYAL LEPAGE

Omg! This was the best training ever!

I’ve been trying to figure Canva out for a while and was doing ok but knew it could be better. I spend so much time creating templates. Not anymore! Melanie is such a great instructor! The presentations are well organized and well paced. Such valuable information. She is pretty cool too, feels like you’re hanging out with a friend on Zoom. Definitely check it out.


@reginakinyui 

Melanie, you are a great presenter and I found your voice and presentation style engaging. 

I really found it helpful to practice after each day what we learned. I am excited to play around in Canva to create things, not only for my real estate business but for all kinds of design needs. So valuable!

- Lesley Hauville, Century 21

It was FANTASTIC! BEST Canva class I have taken, and I have taken a few. 

And it was FREE! You cut through the fog and confidently directed me to what I ACTUALLY needed! I watched each video first and then went back and watched it a second time, but following along in my Canva account. 

- Karen booy

Before the training, Canva made me nervous lol but afterwards, I feel confident in it!

I'm pretty canva savvy but I still learned SO much in every lesson on how to make my projects better or even easier!

I did love how these were short and simple learning lessons of canva, precise and simple for the learning process! They didn't take up too much time and you did a great job explaining.


Loved the bite sized learnings sessions. Most people zone out on the longer tutorials, etc.. I loved your energy and the love you have for designing and teaching is contageous.

Thank you so much for all the tips within this 5 days to Canva training. I thought I knew a lot about Canva but clearly you know so many things to make life so much easier! Thank you!!!

I loved everything about it. I am new to Canva and a bit on the older generation so its a bit tough for me. Not only did you help me with Canva, you made me realize it's time for me to dial In my Branding. Thank you.

Before the training, Canva made me nervous lol but afterwards, I feel confident in it!

The tutorials were concise, informative and had good energy and flow. It was great having the tutorial broken down into bite-sized pieces, not because of the amount of material, but more so because of the time commitment required. It’s so easy to find 15-20 mins a day! 


I loved the course! I had zero confidence I could use Canva before. Now, not only am I able to use it I feel confident I can move forward learning more as I go.


I have been using Canva for years, I have even watched their tutorials on their site, and even so, I learned so much from this mini series!! This was so great.

I have been using Canva Pro for 3 years or so, and these videos still provided a wealth of knowledge. Every little detail from locking an element so it doesn't get in the way while you're highlighting other elements, to the usefulness of "mockups" was extremely helpful. Thank you for providing these free lessons!

This experience was far above anything I've walked away with when attending other "Canva" instructional classes. The skills I learned while attending your classes are too many to name.

Before this training I had tried to use Canva and it was a HOT MESS! Not a clue what I was doing and if I did actually get something to do what I wanted, it looked chintzy. After the training I have made multiple items. Flyers, Posts, Business cards, brand logo and have FUN doing it!


I enjoyed your teaching style. You make it simple to understand. I would love to have a direct line to your brain to help me do this. Thank you.


First of all, I want to say big THANK YOU ✨ I already knew a lot, but now i do much more, and still cannot believe it that it was for free 😄


I felt like I learned enough to be dangerous. LOL I now feel confident getting started. The course gave me a better understanding of all the tools available to assist in my real estate practice. Now that I see how much is available in Canva, I'm excited to create polished and professional materials.

Oh my goodness, I am so happy I found you! I was a Canva novice who always tried to create, but usually ended up abandoning a design because I just couldn't figure it out. All of the information was a Win-Win for me and my real estate business! Thank you!!
