Every successful small business has deep roots in its community. In order to thrive, small businesses need to find ways to collaborate as teams, creating authentic branding and eye-catching visuals that exemplify who they are within the culture and the community. For Jamila and Alfonso Wright, founders of Bed-Stuy based Brooklyn Tea, finding the time to work on their business’s design and branding has been a challenge. “As entrepreneurs, we have all the things to do and none of the time to do it,” Jamila explains.
Due to the demands of running three different locations, the Wrights are in need of design support to help them achieve their vision for the future of Brooklyn Tea.
Thankfully, Canva is here to help. The end-to-end visual communications and collaboration platform, on a mission to empower the world to design, offers a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, social media graphics, and videos to a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, and audio clips — anyone can bring their creative vision to life. With the guidance of Creative Director and Designer, Brittany Bosco, Brooklyn Tea embraces Canva’s suite of tools to create beautiful designs and maintain brand consistency. As founder of the Slug Global creative agency, Bosco credits Canva with helping her start her business, using its templates to land partnerships and clients, even acknowledging the company for helping set her up “for success.”
