Melanie Perkins Scales Canva Into a Global Tech Enterprise Worth Billions 
Melanie Perkins, one of the co-founders and CEOs of Canva, has transformed the graphic design and visual communication software industry and created one of the world’s leading private technology companies by value. Canva was founded in Australia in 2013 and has already acquired more than 170 million active users every month and is available in more than 190 countries. It provides graphic design solutions both for individuals, educators, and Fortune 500 companies.
Melanie Perkins is a rare female founder in the technology industry and had to overcome remarkable obstacles when raising funds among more than a hundred investors before finally attracting the necessary investment to develop the business concept. However, her concentration on product design and usability has rewarded her by creating the largest graphic design platform used by more than 170 million people. With her vision, she has attracted talented people to drive the company’s development and expansion worldwide while maintaining profitability. Her company’s revenue is now more than $2 billion per annum, and she has motivated the creation of design solutions for enterprises while at the same time introducing innovative artificial intelligence design technologies through the Magic Studio concept.
Melanie Perkins has also demonstrated conscious capitalism by donating 30 percent of the company’s equity to the Canva Foundation to create a significant social impact by fighting extreme poverty, providing access to education, and responding to climate-related disasters affecting many people globally. This way, the greater part of the company’s value will be devoted to addressing some of the globe’s most pressing social problems as its worth continues rising.
