Designed with intention
Modern Luxury Planner & Workbook Design
Elevated design with thoughtful simplicity — planners and workbooks that are beautiful, functional, and sell‑ready.
Design That Feels Intentional — Not Overdesigned
I create planners and workbooks using a modern luxury minimalist approach — clean layouts, elevated typography, and intentional structure that allows your content to shine.
Hi, I’m Candice Kilgore — Lead Graphic Designer and Brand Strategist behind ThinkCreateBuild and DIY My Brand.
I specialize in designing clean, elevated planners and workbooks for business owners, educators, and content creators who want their ideas translated into professional, sell-ready digital products. My work blends thoughtful structure, modern design, and usability, ensuring every planner or workbook is not only beautiful, but functional and easy to launch.
Through my platforms, I’ve helped countless entrepreneurs move from idea to execution — designing products that feel intentional, aligned, and worthy of being sold with confidence. My approach is collaborative, strategic, and focused on long-term brand value.
If you’re ready to stop talking about launching your planner or workbook and finally bring it to life with clarity and confidence, you’re in the right place.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ's
Do I need to have my content finished before we start?
Not necessarily. You can come with a rough outline, draft content, or even just an idea. During the Discovery phase, we’ll clarify structure and flow so your content is organized and ready for design.
Do you handle uploading or publishing to Amazon KDP or printers?
I provide file setup and print recommendations, but clients maintain full control over uploading, publishing, and printing. This ensures flexibility and ownership of your product.
Will I be doing any of the design myself?
No. This is a done-for-you design service. You bring the vision and content direction—I handle all layout, design, typography, and formatting.
How long does the design process take?
Timelines vary by package and project scope, but most projects are completed within 2–6 weeks. Clear communication and timely feedback help keep everything moving smoothly.
What file formats will I receive?
You’ll receive Canva-editable files and print-ready PDFs. File setups are aligned with your intended use, including Amazon KDP or Vervante specifications when applicable.
How many revisions are included?
Each package includes a defined number of refinement rounds:
- Essential: 2 rounds
- Signature: 3 rounds
- Bespoke: Extended refinements
This ensures the design is polished while keeping the process efficient.
Can my planner or workbook be printed?
Yes. Your project can be designed for digital use, print, or both. Print guidance is provided for paperback, hardcover, and spiral-bound options through Vervante.
Can I make edits to my planner or workbook after delivery?
Yes. Canva-editable files allow you to update text, duplicate pages, or create additional versions as needed—without starting from scratch.
What if I’m not sure which design package I need?
That’s completely okay. Most clients select a package based on scope and page count, and final recommendations can be made after reviewing your project during the inquiry process.
Is payment required upfront?
Yes. Full payment is required to secure your project and schedule your start date. This allows focused attention and a smooth design experience.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the custom nature of design work, all sales are final. Clear expectations and communication are established before work begins.
How many projects do you take on at one time?
Availability is intentionally limited to ensure quality and attention to detail. Projects are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
What makes this different from using a template?
This is not a template flip. Every project is custom-designed with intentional structure, elevated typography, and strategic flow—so your planner or workbook feels professional, aligned, and ready to launch.
