THE TECHNOLOGY INTERVIEW
“ What we are seeing at Canva is more and more people realising that design is a key part of communication both internally as well as externally”
Duncan Clark, Head of EMEA, Canva
realising that design is a key part of communication both internally as well as externally.
This shift has positioned Canva not only as a design platform but as a collaboration infrastructure. Its adoption often grows organically – as teams use it to streamline day‐to‐day projects, Canva then often sees this naturally progress to scaling to enterprise‐wide deployments with single sign-on, governance controls and shared brand assets. And Canva itself is what it calls‘ customer zero’ in this chain, with Duncan emphasising how rigorously it tests new capabilities in‐house.
“ We are big believers in dogfooding our own tools and we are always the first users of our products,” he says.“ We heavily test them internally before we release them publicly and we take the feedback from our team incredibly seriously.”
Underpinning this is a deep technical foundation focused on security and trust.
