There are dozens of Canva fonts to use to create social media graphics, blog post graphics, even eBooks and resumes! But, which ones are the best fonts? Canva is a great tool for those who don't have professional design software. One thing that can make a big difference in the design of your graphics is the fonts you choose. (Please note: some fonts mentioned are only available to Canva Pro users.) If you want more Canva tips, here's a full playlist of Canva tutorials! Before I break down the...

This past Friday marked four years since the launch of Jess Creatives. This Thursday marks ONE full-year as a freelancer -- it seriously flew by, and I have loved (almost) every minute of it. People ask me from time to time if I'm still glad that I did it, if I still enjoy it, etc. and every time it is a resounding YES. It's not for everyone, and this may not be what I do for the rest of my life (though I would love it), it's definitely what God has called me to for right now. Don't get me...

Yesterday was Mother's Day. This year was very different for me, as I lost my mom unexpectedly five months ago. I didn't have a mom to call or send a gift to this year. As I went through the day seeing everyone post about how much they love their mom, I reminded myself that even though I didn't have a mom to call, she was still worth celebrating like everyone else was doing for their mom. I thought about how many cards we received when she passed - many noting how much she impacted them. I...

Today marks one month as an entrepreneur (or solopreneur, as some call it). Yay! It may sound cliche, but it has flown by. Most days I am struggling to find enough hours in the day to get everything done. I had dreams of going on runs over lunch (or taking the occasional afternoon nap), and the exact opposite has happened - I've worked through lunch most days. It hurts just thinking about how much I used to dread going to work so often for the last few years. My poor husband would have to...

Jess Creatives just celebrated our THIRD anniversary. If you had told me when I started Jess Creatives that I would be where I'm at today, I would have laughed. This last year, in particular, has been incredible. I have worked with people and companies that I never even DREAMED I would work with. Even a few that I had put in the "that'll never happen" category of dream clients, but have the great joy of working with now! This past year, I joined the Freelance to Freedom Community on Facebook....

As a web designer, there is a lot of competition out there. But, I still have plenty of projects and get to work with great clients! That's not to say that I've missed out on or had to turn away projects. I can't be all things to all people, and I may not be the best fit for every client's needs. There have even been people who first come to me, but then later find other designers (most of the time, it's a friend or relative) to complete the project, which is fine. I don't love that scenario,...
