I recently attended the "Visualize Your Research: Mastering Canva for Impact Webinar 4.0" organized by RxConnect Pk In this webinar, I learn about the basics of Canva how to use Canva for research work, and how to turn out your research in a visual representation.

As a parent, I'm witnessing my son's artistic journey. At just 1.5 years old, he started drawing. Now at 5, he's navigating Canva and Microsoft Paint like a pro. I mean, look at the picture...how did his mind think to connect those graphics to create this? Sometimes I'm fighting just to use my own computer! 😂 The craziest part? He's showing ME features on Canva that I didn't even know existed. When your 5-year-old becomes your tech guru, you know something special is happening. Autonomy is key in how I nurture his love for art. I simply provide tools, create space, and most importantly, get out of his way. He's turning into a mini-professional 🫠 #ProudMama #artisticdevelopment #graphicdesigner

Tuesday Thoughts 💭 'What if there was an easier way...' I am in awe of people who find an easier solution to problems without reinventing the wheel. Take the story of Canva. 🪄 Melanie Perkins, Founder of Canva, was studying at a university in Perth while privately tutoring graphic design students. It was during these sessions that she first noticed how difficult it was for students to learn complex, traditional design programs like Adobe Photoshop. 'People would spend an entire semester learning where the buttons were - that seemed ridiculous.' Determined to solve this problem, Melanie had a vision: a design platform that was simple and accessible to everyone, with no technical expertise required. What began as a solution for creating high school yearbooks has, today, become our beloved Canva. ✨ Latest valuation set at $40 billion. ✨ Over 220 million monthly users (inc professionals, students and freelancers). ✨ Available in 190+ countries. So with that, I'm off to brainstorm my billion-dirham idea. (Any ideas anyone?) 👀 #disruptingthefuture #canva #socialmedia
