Canva is laying off over 1,200 employees, representing 22% of its workforce, due to slowed growth and rising costs. CEO Melanie Perkins noted the need for change amid increased competition from AI startups. The company is restructuring teams and reducing specialization to improve efficiency. Despite launching its own AI models, Canva has lowered its revenue growth forecast from 30% to 20%. Founded in 2013, Canva began as a student project by Perkins in 2007, aimed at simplifying graphic design for users.
