From a  shed in Duncraig, Western Australia, Canva began as a simple idea by Melanie Perkins—to make graphic design accessible to everyone. Frustrated by complex design tools while teaching at university, she envisioned an easier way. In 2013, she co-founded Canva with Cliff Obrecht and Cameron Adams. The platform quickly gained global attention, offering drag-and-drop simplicity for designs. Today, Canva is valued at billions, used in over 190 countries, and stands as a symbol of Aussie innovation, proving that world-changing ideas can come from the smallest places.
