Canva reports a major restructuring affecting 22% of staff

Reports say Canva’s restructuring affects about 1,200–1,271 employees, or 22% of staff, through departures, role changes, and possible relocations. CEO Melanie Perkins says the company needs to be “refounded,” citing slowing growth and bureaucracy; reports also describe possible organizational consolidation, Sydney-based product roles, and substantial exit support. AI costs are cited in coverage but are not established as the direct cause, and the scope of exits versus relocations remains unclear.
