Hey there! I’m Shay!
Founder of The Pink Ink®, Digital Planner Academy®, Graphic Designer & Marketing Graduate.
I’m a bit of a pioneer. In 2018 I was one of the first digital planner designers on Etsy. Back then they weren’t a thing. There were no guides to follow, no digital planners to pull apart.
I had to figure it all out by myself.
How to make them clickable.
How to design so I could easily repurpose.
How to factor user experience into the design.
How to not waste days before I even started.
Since then, I’ve developed my own successful strategies and frameworks that have helped me create, design, and sell 8000+ digital planners online. Now share these design hacks with aspiring 500+ digital planner designers―like you―who want to explore a smarter (better) way of creating.
Who is it for?
Small physical businesses | Course creators | Bloggers | Service-based businesses | Photographers & creatives | Virtual Assistants | Graphic designers | Planner lovers | Digital planning users | Anyone who wants to create a digital planner for them self or for sale!

It’s a perfect starting point for anyone who wants to get started with digital planner design without wasting time on trial & error and wants the expertise of someone who has been in their shoes before to help them reach their goals.

Digital and Physical planners
Digital and Physical stickers

Digital and Physical notebooks
Inserts
Mockups
And so much more!
-
No, it’s not required to have an iPad to take this course. We teach you everything on a computer, including:
How to design your planner
How to test it
An iPad can be useful later on to use your digital planner but it is not required to take this course.
-
Yes, you can!
Any design you create using any of the course templates, along with whatever you design from scratch, is yours to keep and sell! The templates are for you to use as a starter guide to see how to design planners, design elements, organize your pages, and more.

At this time, this course only covers how to design a planner using Affinity Publisher on a computer.
-
It depends on how much time you can commit to the course each week!
How motivated are you to watch the lessons and take action?
On average, it takes students 1-3 weeks to work through the curriculum and design their planner, but this is not a guarantee and can vary greatly from person to person.
-
We suggest investing in…
The Affinity Publisher program computer version – $69.99 USD

If you want to start an online business and learn about how to sell, promote, market research, validate your idea, branding any type of digital product including planners then I highly recommend exploring our signature program that is all about this topic: Digital Planner Academy. It's a step-by-step program to help you build and scale a digital planner business with done-for-you systems, products, templates, and marketing strategies.
-
A Digital Planner Kit is a plug-and-play template that gives you a premade planner you can edit and sell. While there are video tutorials guiding you through the customization process of the template itself, you won’t learn how to hyperlink your planner, turn your ideas into a real product, or build a planner from scratch.
With Digital Planner Design Mastery, you will learn every step of the process necessary to build a digital planner all by yourself in Affinity Publisher. You’ll never have to buy another template again if you don’t want to because you’ll have the skills you need to design a functional and beautiful digital planner.
-
Digital Planner Academy® focuses on both the business and design sides of digital planner design. You’ll learn how to start, launch, and scale your passive income shop. It’s a comprehensive course that covers everything from designing a digital planner to marketing it so it sells.
Some Digital Planner Design Mastery lessons can be found inside Digital Planner Academy. Digital Planner Academy is the go-to, community-based, online hybrid program designed to help you create passive income and launch a signature digital planner that turns heads without ever feeling overwhelmed.
On the other hand, Digital Planner Design Mastery only focuses on the design side of things. You will not learn how to start an online shop or market your products. You can enroll in Digital Planner Design Mastery whether you’re interested in designing planners to sell or if you simply want to learn how to make a personalized planner for yourself. Digital Planner Design Mastery is also a completely self-paced, pre-recorded course with no live interaction, unlike Digital Planner Academy which includes live calls and personalized feedback given 1:1 to students.
-
Due to the nature of digital products, they are non-refundable, so please make sure you have read all of the course details as well as the software requirements before you purchase.
