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 getting started as a blogger and YouTuber. I’ll be honest—my first thumbnails and videos? Not great. infact, 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 both a Canva Certified Creative (Before CVEs) and a Canva Verified Expert, helping thousands of creators design better visuals. As well as creating templates for the Canva library that have been used by. thousands.

More recently, I’ve transitioned to working mostly with Adobe Express because I believe it’s the tool that best supports creators and small business owners looking to create professional, standout content without the stress.
