About your teacher

Hey I’m Helen, your design mentor and social media content creation buddy.

Helen Bamborough.jpg

As a mother of two and business owner I can relate to the struggle of keeping up with marketing your brand on Instagram.

It can feel like a relentless juggle to stay on top of client work or orders as well as all the things you need to do in your business to attract new customers and grow.

This is why I’ve created this course - to provide you with an easy to follow system that helps you design content for your brand quickly and effortlessly, removing the barriers which might be preventing you from showing up and posting consistently on Instagram.

It takes the guesswork out of what to post on IG Stories, how to design and where to find out all of the latest cool new tricks - helping you stay top of your game and freeing up precious time and brain-power to do all the other things in life that bring you joy!

Busy female creators, this one’s for you, I hope you’ll come join me.

Selling made easy through visual storytelling

No more guesswork or wasting time.

Launch-stories-graphic.jpg

Whether you're looking to increase your brand's popularity or sell your products online, there’s never been a better time to master the art of visual storytelling to grow your brand.

But remember, this is a place where you're competing against many other accounts making a lot of noise. So unless you publish relevant and eye-catching content, that is consistently styled, your brand won't be taken into consideration by people scrolling quickly through their feed. You need high-quality visual content: luckily ‘Design to Launch’ has you covered.
