Strategy

As the Head of Design for the content partnerships team at Canva, I ensure that our projects are backed by a robust design strategy, informed by data to achieve our company goals while also being creatively inspiring for our users. Our team focusses on library partners, brand partners and diversity partners. In this role, I have had the opportunity to work directly with iconic brands such as NASA, Pinterest, The New York Times, and Disney.

Popular music

Our partnerships team successfully acquired popular music tracks for the Canva library from artists such as Benson Boone, Vance Joy and Michael Bublé, enriching the platform's audio offerings. My design team played a key role in this partnership by creating stunning templates to accompany and promote these songs, ensuring seamless integration and enhancing the user experience with visually appealing designs that complement the new music collection. Working closely withe the marketing team, I have been able to ensure that millions of eyes have seen this fresh content in our library.

One of the partnerships highlights in 2024 was to work directly with Guy Kawasaki on a set of engaging lessons about career development, targeting people who are ready to kick off their professional careers. The lessons are enriched with exclusive interviews from visionaries like Jane Goodall and Temple Grandin and have inspiring activities for our users along the way.

Specifically on LinkedIn this content saw a huge amount of engagement, exceeding our benchmark rates, with a CTR of 23.8% in the first 90 days of launching.
