FOUNDER & CREATIVE COACH
As a multi-passionate creative with decades of experience, I know how tough it can be to kick off new ideas, complete any scale of projects, and stay current in an industry that never stops moving. I’ve spent my entire career working with clients in my own business and being in all areas of education; and there’s nothing more fulfilling than watching that lightbulb moment when a concept finally clicks.
But I’ve also seen what happens when poor teaching or confusing content drains that spark. It’s frustrating—and it’s avoidable.
You don’t need another unattainable and expensive 60-hour online course. And you don’t need to spend hours aimlessly browsing YouTube videos hoping to fit the pieces together. You need just enough knowledge to get started. That’s what BrandRoots Academy is all about.
Clear guidance. Quick wins. Real application.
BrandRoots Academy provides ever-evolving content that’s quick to your finger tips, diverse in media types, and affordable. Together, we’re in it for the long haul—on a journey of continuous creative growth.
Let’s learn the good stuff—and get you creating, growing, and making an impact in the world.
We’re not your typical online course platform—and that’s by design. We’re here to make learning enjoyable, approachable, and something you actually look forward to. No pressure, just genuine curiosity and the freedom to keep studying and exploring new topics.
We know everyone learns differently—so we keep it flexible. Dive into in-depth yet streamlined courses, pick up quick wins with bite-sized videos and playlists, or grab a digital download and hit the ground running. Whether you learn best by watching, doing, or writing it down, we’ve got you covered—so you can keep moving forward with clarity and confidence and at your own pace.
Let’s be real. A lot of tutorials out there teach things you’ll never actually use—and many of them aren’t exactly easy on the eyes.
At BrandRoots Academy, you’ll build real projects with real purpose. We skip the fluff and focus on hands-on work you can actually use. You’re not just learning—you’re creating meaningful, reusable work that builds your confidence and your portfolio. Our project-based approach keeps you engaged, sharp, and ready to apply your skills in the real world.
Much of the learning content online is either dry text or long videos of someone talking at you without showing what’s actually being built. Many tutorials walk through steps without ever showing the final result from the beginning—making it hard to visualize what you're working toward.
At BrandRoots Academy, we’ve put in the time to create clear, purposeful visuals that bring the learning to life. You’ll see more graphics than talking heads, because we believe the combination of visuals and voice helps your brain retain information better—and makes learning a lot more engaging.
Finding quality learning content online can feel overwhelming. Courses are often pricey, and platforms like YouTube serve up so many options that it’s hard to find a consistent teaching style—or even know where to start.
At BrandRoots Academy, we make it simple: one platform, a consistent teaching style, and content created with beginners in mind. We can’t promise we’re the perfect fit for everyone—but if you’re looking for clarity, structure, and real-world learning, we’d love for you to give us a try.
