Why This Exists
Two tools that changed the way I run my business.
I use Canva and Claude every single day to run NECC — building proposals, creating content, designing events, and managing an entire creative media company. Faster and better than ever.
This summer I’m teaching everything I know. Live. Small groups. Real homework. Case studies from my actual business. Tricks most people don’t know exist.
— Kim Thomas, Founder, NECC
