I'm Laney from Design by Laney and I help people start successful stationery businesses. I came from a Fortune 10 company (working with multi-million-dollar businesses on the regular) and now run a six-figure invitation design and education firm. I've educated tens of thousands of creative entrepreneurs worldwide on how to run successful businesses in many fields, with a focus on wedding industry creatives. My goal is to overturn the "starving artist" trope and show everyone who's ever asked "But what do you do *for money*?" just how successful a creative business can be! This free course is designed to teach you how to use my favorite design program for invitations - Adobe Illustrator!

Your business can feel fun, easy, and profitable, all at the same time. I'll show you how!

Do I need Illustrator for this course?

It’s helpful to already have Adobe Illustrator installed before you start this course! This link will take you to their latest discounts. I highly recommend getting the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite if you want to become a stationery designer.

Why should I get the full Adobe Suite?

My favorite stationery design programs are Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop to design wedding invitations. I use all 3 of these design programs in combination to create beautiful wedding stationery for my clients!

Why do you use Illustrator for design?

I’ll talk a little about this in the first video, but Adobe Illustrator is great for editing vector graphics, as well as text and colors. Photoshop is great for editing raster graphics (like photos and watercolors!) and InDesign is great for editing longer documents with multiple pages (like formatting envelope addressing).
