Reading about Melanie Perkins really hit me. I’ve always believed that starting small is the key, and her journey from high school yearbooks to Canva’s $40 billion valuation proves it. I relate so much to testing ideas early, iterating constantly, and learning from rejection—it’s exactly how I approach my own projects. Her mindset about money as a tool, not a goal, resonates too; it reminds me to focus on impact over status. It even got me reflecting on ways to explore creativity more freely, like browsing inspiring spaces online (https://lovescape.com/categories/big_tits) to spark new ideas.
As a professional UX designer, it's so easy to dismiss Canva. I did. Your article prompted me to check it out one more time, and then the lightbulb came on:
We UXers are masters of our profession, yet 99% of creators small to large, not to mention companies like Zoom, can use Canva, saving time and $$$$ in the process. Canva is good enough! The concept and execution are brilliant. The kind of thing that makes you say "well, of course!"
If my colleagues saw my comment I'd be excoriated, but I'm close to retirement so who cares. ;)
