At Canva, we create tools that empower the world to design. Our mission is to make design simple for everyone. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time.
Launched in August 2013, our platform combines a drag-and-drop design tool that is used by more than 10 million users across 179 different countries who have created more than 200 million designs (that’s eight designs created in its apps every second).
In 4 years our product has gone from a simple drag-and-drop design tool, to an end-to-end product allowing people to create and share almost anything they want. We’ve launched numerous products and platforms including a marketplace, Canva for work, Canva for print and an ipad and ios application (soon to launch android) … and we have so much more we want to achieve. We’re only just getting started!
Working alongside Canva’s founders, design, growth and engineering teams, you’ll continue to launch new groundbreaking products and features to market, and optimise existing products to provide an incredible experience to Canva’s community.
