Who is Canva?

Canva is a leading global online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere

Launched in 2013

“At Canva it’s not about being in charge, but rather taking care of those in our charge.”

Concept

The design is inspired by Chicago’s Public Art Program that houses over 500 forms of artwork displayed throughout the city. With art’s capacity to tell a community’s shared story, the program is able to inspire reflection and form connections that transcend differences.

Canva is committed to creating a culture where every Canvanaut feels that they truly belong and they take pride in ensuring that Canvanauts have a dedicated space to support each other, share their thoughts, learn new things, and most importantly, be heard and considered.

A Space Where Canva Meets Chicago:

By telling Canva’s shared story through display of their core values within the workplace while also paying tribute to the monumental features and landmarks that define the city of Chicago, the design is able to bridge the gap between the Chicago community and Canva’s culture to create an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive team-based environment that encourages every Canvanaut to be their best selves and perform their best work.
