About Simon John

Senior Product Designer at Canva

Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of designing products across the full spectrum, from startups to global consulting firms, agencies, and now at Canva as a Senior Product Designer.

Each chapter taught me something different: how to move fast and wear many hats in startups, how to deeply partner with clients and navigate complexity in consulting, and how to scale systems and craft end-to-end experiences in product orgs. I’ve been lucky to work with incredibly talented designers, engineers, PMs, and leaders who have sharpened my thinking and pushed my craft.

If you’re just starting out or navigating your next step in product design, I’d love to share what I’ve learned, whether it’s about design systems, UX strategy, stakeholder collaboration, creating your portfolio or design interview prep. Let’s chat
