The opportunity that we have is only superseded by the responsibility we feel. We hope we can live up to it over the years to come. So lucky to turn a wild idea into reality with the best team, community and investors. Exciting progress on our 2-step plan:

A beautiful African proverb says it takes a village to raise a child, it certainly does to build a company too. Proud to cross 100 million people designing in Canva and incredibly grateful for our team and global community who brought our wild dream to life.

A few years ago I wrote a post about some of the lessons we've learned on Canva's journey, I called it Part 1, but never quite got to Part 2! If there's anything you'd like to know more about, let me know and I'll try to include the questions in Part 2!👇

Just dusted off a post that I started a while back but never quite hit ‘Publish’. Well, here it is - hope it resonates with anyone that’s ever felt on the outside and that you find something useful that you can tuck away and use when you need it most.
Ever feel like you're on the outside? You're not alone. Here's a blog post from our CEO
@MelanieCanva
on how she overcame negativity on her way to building one of the world’s most successful companies

It was such a pleasure sharing the Canva story with
@alexrkonrad
and giving him an inside look into how our team works at Canva. He joined our Season Opener, product sessions and more. Really appreciated him making the trip to the other side of the world 🙃🐨🦘🏖
ICYMI: Canva has 20M users, from small biz to Pinterest-savvy teens, all over the world.
It's the vision of an unlikely -- and often barefoot -- but mission-driven CEO: 32-year-old Melanie Perkins. I visited her in Sydney for our new

Bringing simultaneous collaboration to life required the hard work, passion, creativity, and dedication of an incredibly talented group of people. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to the millions of people who now collaborate using Canva every day ✨

It’s a small step for us, but putting our values in our Terms seems like a good start towards creating a brighter future. We'd love to see other companies do the same - so decisions don’t feel piecemeal, but in line with shaping a world we can all be proud to live in.
