Hey Reader! Greetings from a post-snowy Amsterdam - what a week! The smallest sight of a snowflake and the country collapses 🙈. But even in amongst airport shutdowns and bike lane ice rinks, my awesome sister still made it to Amsterdam for a long weekend 🙌. Certainly a super way to start the year is to spend time with someone who makes you feel top notch - especially if they're someone you can be a bit silly with. If you’re also feeling overdue for some proper one-to-one time with a sibling...

Hey Reader, Happy New Yeeeeeaaaaaaar!! 🥳 🥂 🎇 Ahhhh, the second day of January 🥰. Got to love the smell of a fresh chapter! And as we turn the pages from one to another, I wanted to send some love and appreciation from the forests of Stromberg. I've been thinking about how a lot can change in 365 days. There have been quite some lower points, in amongst some medium-highs this year. But something that has consistently kept me fuelled is the genuine joy I take from designing CNVS, and the...

Hey Reader, I'm just finished making your Christmas gift and I'm a bit giddy with being reminded how easy it was to make a fairly simple Miro board look good with CNVS. Other than the card designs themselves, this board took me less than an hour to make from scratch. Less. Than. One. Hour. Mission success for 'creating a toolkit that makes designing visual workshop canvases easy and fun' I'd say! Granted, I design for a living, so my cursor does move across the board with speed. But still, I...

Hey Reader, I've just come out of the last CNVS event for the year and I'm feeling pretty buzzy 😊. I used to accidentally monologue my way through these things. I felt deeply uncomfortable in the' spotlight', and I'm sure it showed up in my verbal clumsiness and erratic board guidance 😅. But these days I've taken a crucial page out of Said's Saddouk's book and centered the sessions around hands-on exercises rather than one-sided demos. I'm there to help you make things, not tell you how to...

Hey Reader, I don't know about you, but November is flashing by unbelievably quickly over this side 😅. Before it ends I wanted to check in with a little update, including a cool teaser of things I've been working on... Next event - CNVS Christmas cards The postcard-making session the other week was a lot of fun - the board (above) still makes me smile 😊. Next up: we’re taking that same playful energy and turning it into Christmas cards. So if you fancy getting a little ahead of the festive...

Hey Reader, I'm thrilled (lol) to let you know that the latest illustration collection has just landed. And it's a pretty special one because it wouldn't be here without the CNVS community. This latest drop is the sum of all of the specific requests I received in the last few months. Some were individual requests, others were mini collections. Together it's made the whole kit stronger and more relevant because it's been curated by the people who use it 🙌. So, what’s new? Let’s take a look......

Hey Reader, How's it goin?! I hope you're well! 🫶 I just wanted to drop in quickly to let you know about a few things coming up with CNVS, and a little reminder about some others... Two new Miro events in the calendar I've been playing around a lot with postcard making templates in Miro (coming soon to CNVS!). They're a really beautiful way to share appreciation, celebrate special moments, and let folks know you care. So, I've organised some sessions to get creative together with some of the...
