"Thanks so much Maggie for this course! I absolutely loved it. I have been able to create some stunning images thanks to you and have a much better understanding of how to make good use of the free software out there on the internet.
My Instagram following has grown and I feel so much more confident about sharing images. I am looking forward to being able to create youtube graphics when I start doing my own videos too! I loved how detailed you were but how straight to the point you also were and that I was able to finish the course in an afternoon and start putting my new skills to work that same day.
Maggie is funny and easy to listen to and is full of great knowledge that she is more than willing to share. I highly recommend her course and I am looking forward to what else I can learn from the team at Living to Roam."

Your Instructor
Hey you, I'm Maggie,
a digital marketing specialist, and your marketing and content creation instructor.
When I first wanted to learn the skills to begin working online, I struggled with the lack of quality information out there for beginners. And after learning the ropes the hard way and becoming a successful freelancer, I set out to help make things easier for creative overachievers like myself. So, I went ahead and created everything with you in mind.
My courses aren't made by someone with decades of experience who has forgotten what it was like to be a newbie and learned design and digital marketing and design in the era of Myspace and Microsoft Paint. They're made by someone who knows exactly what it's like to be trying to master 20 tools at once and stay on top of constant updates with each of them.
My passion for teaching comes from a combination of insatiable creativity and a constant need to pay it forward and help as many people as I can! So my ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered and excited about your future having learned the skills within this course!
Thanks for being here and I hope to see you on the inside!
