Ever sit on a win for years because it didn’t feel “big enough”?
I won a Canva design challenge three years ago today 🎉…and never shared it.
At the time, I had built my portfolio using Canva’s website tool and entered on a whim. I didn’t expect to win, but I did. 🥹
I was SO excited! But I told myself they would feature it publicly, as they usually did. When that didn’t happen, I stayed quiet.
Looking back, that was imposter syndrome.
It made me believe the win didn’t “count” the same way others did.
I’d watch others share their amazing wins and told myself that mine didn’t measure up...😕
But it did.
That moment was proof (from Canva no less!) I was on the right path. It pushed me to lean further into my creativity and grow from a Virtual Assistant with one client into a Creative VA specializing in Canva design.
Now, I’m developing new offers for coaches and course creators who want polished, on-brand visuals, without spending hours in Canva themselves.
So this is me:
✨sharing the win
✨reframing the story
✨and stepping into visibility
If you’d like to see the winning design, you can view my portfolio here → https://bit.ly/reneetheva_portfolio
(A portfolio update is in the works as well!)
A reminder worth sharing:
Your wins don’t expire. Celebrate them…even if they’re a few years late 💛
Stay tuned 💫
