I am thrilled to express my interest in the Digital Designer role at Canva and share why I believe I'd be a great fit for your team.

From the moment my brother Jacob Gad & my friend Mirette Saleh told me about Canva's innovative approach to design and its commitment to empowering creativity, I knew I had found a company aligned with my own aspirations. Your emphasis on driving design through creativity and success truly resonates with me, and I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to your team's mission.

As a designer, I have always been eager to expand my tool belt and explore various design disciplines and technologies. However, beyond the technical skills, my true calling lies in using design to create positive change and harnessing the power of the digital age to do so. My experiences at General Assembly and working on projects like Bodhi Holistic Hub and Vinnies have honed my skills in UX research, crafting interactive prototypes, and conducting usability testing. If you'd like to delve deeper, feel free to check out my case studies!

One thing that sets me apart is my passion for continuous learning. I firmly believe that growth and improvement are crucial for delivering outstanding digital experiences, which is why I always stay updated with the latest design trends and industry best practices.

During my time at university, I had the opportunity to participate in a transformative subject in Indonesia. Engaging with local communities, I designed a marketing campaign that successfully addressed the smoking issue. The impact was so profound that it caught the attention of the mayor of Ambon, leading to a ban on tobacco companies sponsoring public events in the city. This experience taught me the power of effective communication and understanding diverse perspectives.

What excites me most about Canva is the immense potential it has to change the world by democratizing design and enabling people to express themselves visually. Being part of a company that not only values design but also understands its role in driving positive change is a compelling reason for me to join your ranks.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply passionate about supporting my community. Whether it's teaching Sunday school, creating graphics for social channels, or organising events and fundraisers, I am always eager to use my skills to make a difference. Currently, I'm also working on a CRM system to help volunteers have an even greater impact in the community. I understand firsthand the significance of effective platforms like Humanitix, especially for non-profit services.

Thank you for considering my application. I am confident that my experience, passion, and adaptability make me an ideal candidate for this role. I am excited about the possibility of contributing to Canva's mission and helping the team create impactful user experiences that resonate with users worldwide. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my candidacy further.

Warmest,
