The Design Experience Super Group’s mission is to build powerful, yet simple tools, that empower anyone to design anything. We work together to deliver key products and an excellent editing experience, with the features our users need that scale as our product becomes more complex.
As a growing Supergroup, comprised of 6 groups and 200+ people, Design Experience is critical to the company's mission of empowering everyone to design anything. Think of us as the groups building what the user "touches" when using Canva. The groups within Design Experience are very product and engineering-driven, including Video, Presentations, Editing Product, Editing Platform, Client Platform, and Photo Editor.
The Design Experience Super Group builds everything from the creation of videos, presentations, and other design types in Canva -- to visioning the future of AI editing.
