1. Listen

We begin by understanding your people, workflows, and brand. Before designing anything in Canva, we identify how your team creates—and where friction exists.

What we do:

  • Stakeholder conversations
  • Review brand guidelines and assets
  • Template & content audit
  • Workflow and tool mapping
  • Identify gaps and challenges
  • Analyze roles, access levels, and team structure

2. Define

Insights become structure. We outline the system your Canva environment needs to support your brand and your teams.

What we do:

  • Clarify brand architecture
  • Identify key content types & touchpoints
  • Plan template families by role or department
  • Map teams, groups, permissions & folder logic
  • Define governance and publishing responsibilities
  • Translate brand voice into reusable patterns

3. Systemize

We build the core components of your Canva system—ensuring consistency, clarity, and ease of use.

What we do:

  • Build Canva Brand Kits
  • Define design tokens
  • Create reusable elements (headers, grids, CTAs)
  • Develop layout families across formats
  • Design role-based template structures
  • Prototype & test with real users

4. Activate

Your system goes live. We configure your workspace, publish templates, and train your team.

What we do:

  • Set up teams, groups, permissions & folders
  • Configure SSO, SCIM & access (when applicable)
  • Upload Brand Kits + apply Brand Controls
  • Build and publish template libraries
  • Admin and Brand Designer consultations
  • Member training with hands-on practice
  • Rollout documentation & internal communications

5. Empower

We strengthen long-term adoption and scalability so your system stays healthy as your needs evolve.

What we do:

  • Assign governance & update roles
  • Set best-practice guidelines
  • Create request/approval workflows
