About the Group/Team

Canva’s journey in the Czech Republic began with the game-changing acquisition of Liberec-founded Smartmockups in 2021. This strategic move enabled us to leverage our expertise in standalone products and dive into the development of innovative product visualization features with the goal of bringing mockups to millions of Canva users worldwide.

In the Czech Republic, our dedicated team of 40 talented Canvanauts is diligently leading the creation of cutting-edge mockup products. In addition, we're actively engaged in many other magic projects, keeping our innovative spirit alive.

While our team may be relatively small, we have a tremendous impact on the global stage, reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Collaborating closely with Canvanauts in offices across Europe, Australia, the Philippines, and China, we work tirelessly to provide the best possible design solutions to our diverse and ever-growing user base.
