• Designing presentation deliverables for stakeholders.
• Partnering with Brand Designers to translate event branding into scalable digital experiences.
• Conducting user research and usability testing to guide design decisions and ensure effectiveness.
• Participating in end-to-end delivery, supporting engineers during build and QA phases to maintain design quality throughout delivery.
• Applying design thinking at scale, ensuring your work is consistent with Canva’s design systems and scalable for multiple use cases.

You're probably a match if you have
