"We are excited to introduce a revamped Canva experience and a
suite of new products to empower every organisation to design,”
said Melanie Perkins, co-founder and CEO of Canva. “As
demand for visual content soars, navigating organizational
complexity is more challenging than ever. We democratized the
design ecosystem in our first decade and now look forward to
unifying the fragmented ecosystems of design, AI, and workflow
tools for every organization in our second decade.”
As visual communication becomes the status quo, Canva’s latest
Visual Economy Report found 92% of business leaders now expect
employees in non-design roles to possess design skills. Canva’s new
products unveiled on stage at Canva Create directly address this
need by putting the power of design in the hands of the 99% of
employees without professional design training.
Today, Canva touts more than 185 million monthly active users
and more than $2.3 billion in annualized revenue. In just over 18
months since the introduction of Canva’s workplace-focused Visual
Suite, more than 95 million new users have joined the platform, a
figure that first took the company nearly nine years to
achieve.
Already used by teams across 95% of Fortune 500 companies, the
latest additions to Canva's workplace solutions mark a major step
forward for the company's enterprise strategy and advance its
position as a leader in visual communication.

New Canva UI Designed For Work

redesign of its core product experience. Built to fuel creativity
and productivity in the workplace, the new UI speeds up workflows
and harnesses focus. Standout features include:

toolbar creates more space and improves focus. Fan favorites like

navigation, teams can move between projects, access key assets and
resources, and apply brand guidelines. Users can filter, sort,

to the first one million users who discover the secret portal
hidden in their Canva homepage. General availability will commence
in August.
