    The opportunity that we have is only superseded by the responsibility we feel.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.

    For all founders that have been told by VCs: Your market is not big enough. You are not technical. You aren’t from Silicon Valley. You can’t have your partner as a co-founder. This is for you. The tale of the $40BN @canva with @cliffobrecht 👇

    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!👇

    What lessons have you learned throughout life that you wish you had learned in school? Thinking of turning them into easy-to-use lessons and would love to know what you wished you had learned a bit earlier! I have a long list 😂

    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.

    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 🙃🐨🦘🏖

    We're calling all biz leaders in AU to #StopTheSpread of #covid19. As Aussies we’ve had our fair share of tough times this year, but as a nation of resilience and courage, we’ve proven our greatest strength stems from rallying together. Let’s join forces
