BLOOM Coffee + Canva

What It Is
Grab a coffee or tea, open your laptop, and learn how to create polished, professional-looking content using Canva, an easy-to-use online design tool for creating social media posts, posters, presentations, invitations, and more — no design experience needed. Coffee + Canva is a relaxed, hands-on evening where you'll explore Canva's tools, build something you can actually use, and connect with others over good conversation. This isn't a lecture or a formal workshop — it's learning by doing, at your own pace, with support along the way from marketing professionals.

Who This Is For
Anyone curious about Canva, whether you've never opened it before or just want to get more comfortable with it. Perfect if you want practical skills for work, community involvement, a side project, or your own social media — no design background required.
