Choosing your profession

Once you sign up to Canva, a short survey pops up inviting you to select your profession or main use for Canva.

No matter what your profession is, you’ll be able to create every kind of designs with your Canva account. For a more thorough guide to creating with Canva, you can check out our Tutorials page.

Choosing an applicable category optimizes our recommended designs to offer relevant layouts and material fit to your needs. We also use this to send articles, tutorials and design content to help you get the most out of Canva.

You’ll receive emails with links to these helpful articles and guides as seen below. Feel free to keep them in your inbox for reference.
