Design With Purpose. Learn With Confidence.

  • Welcome to the Journey: Design, Momentum & Purpose

    Hello Sunshine,

    I’m Tressa Hopkinson—designer, educator, and lifelong learner and I’m so glad you’re here.

    After years working across design, education, and digital strategy, I’ve created this space to bring together everything I’m passionate about: teaching creative skills, building strong brands, and helping others gain momentum in their personal and professional lives.

    This blog is where I’ll share what I’ve learned (and continue learning) about:

    • Crafting a brand that feels real and stands out
    • Getting started with digital design—without the fluff
    • Staying focused, finishing what matters, and planning with purpose
    • Designing a life that’s as intentional as the work we put into it

    What You’ll Find Here

    You’ll find tips from the field, behind-the-scenes looks at my own projects, and resources that support your growth—whether you’re a student, creative entrepreneur, or someone ready to finally hit “go” on your next big thing.

    I’m also launching two courses I’m incredibly proud of:

    • Branding 101 – for creatives and solopreneurs ready to clarify their message and visuals
    • Intro to Digital Design – built for beginners who want to learn the real tools and workflows professionals use

    And because I believe great design starts with great planning, I’ve created the Momentum Master Planner—a 12-week system to help you take action and stay aligned with your goals. (And yes, there’s an academic version coming too!)

    Let’s Master the Journey

    I believe in small steps done with intention, and that we’re all capable of designing a life that aligns with who we are and where we want to go.

    So whether you’re here for a course, a planner, or just some creative fuel—welcome.
    This is your space too.

    Let’s move with purpose, and master the journey—together.

    – Tressa
