About Me

Hey there! I’m Darren, your go-to Content Creator Coach and the creative mind behind Better Content Creators.

My journey into content creation started back in 2016 when I was just figuring things out as a blogger and YouTuber. I’ll be honest—my first thumbnails and videos? They were terrible. In fact, I sucked. But I stuck with it, learning everything I could about design, storytelling, and tech to improve my content.

Over the years, I became a Canva Certified Creative (before the Canva Verified Expert program even existed) and later a Canva Verified Expert, helping thousands of creators design better visuals. I also created templates for the Canva library that have been used by thousands.

But as the content creation space evolved, so did the tools. That’s why I’ve transitioned to Adobe Express, and I’m now an Adobe Express Ambassador, helping creators and small business owners design professional, standout content without the stress.

What I Do

I make content creation simple, fun, and approachable. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up, I’ll help you figure out the tools, workflows, and strategies you need to make your content shine. Here’s where I focus:

✅ Adobe Express & Design Tools: I’ll show you how to create eye-catching content using Adobe Express and other essential tools.

📸 Gear & Tech Basics: Need help setting up your camera, filming B-roll, or using tools like the DJI Pocket 3, Action cameras, or Insta360? I’ve got practical tips to make your visuals stand out.

⏳ Productivity Hacks: Content creation shouldn’t feel like an endless grind. I’ll help you work smarter, not harder, so you can create high-quality content without burnout.
