How Canva Made Easy Graphic Design a Billion-Dollar Tech Tool

Since it began 10 years ago, Canva has grown into one of the world's most valuable private software companies. The company says it has roughly 150 million users and that more than 200 new designs are made every second. So how does the Australian design firm plan to make the next decade just as successful? In this episode of Future Ready, CEO Melanie Perkins tells Bloomberg's Emily Chang how prioritizing consumer and employee experience in addition to artificial intelligence will play key roles.

Emily Chang is my favorite. Have been so inspired by her for so many years. Seeing Bloomberg Tech sunsetting a year ago was a lot to take in. Hope we can keep seeing more of her on Bloomberg. And Melanie Perkins: OMG such an inspiration. I've dedicated entire pieces of content to her striving efforts to create a better environment for designers and small businesses around the world 🙌 Two great female role models. Thank you Bloomberg for making this happen 😊

Seems like an Ad. I guess Canva buying Bloomberg airtime is not that bad an indicator for how big it is.

[@Pixiebolt]

Any way we see it. Canva is rising like foam 🚀✨

[@rockysage7760]

If only Canva integrated generative AI.
