Our mission is to empower more people to design better spaces. We hope you'll consider joining us.

Meet Canoa, a new way to bring designs to life.
Canoa isn't a deck, a doc or a downloaded software. It's a web-based tool built for the way designers want to design spaces: playfully, precisely, and together with their teams. Canoa's platform lets users unleash their ideas in an infinite collaborative canvas and share those ideas with others, in a simple and elegant way. Faster and more informed decisions are the result of limitless product data and industry-first AI tools that assist in discovery.
We're a multi-disciplinary, diverse team and we're excited to add new team members who add to that diversity. Wherever you're from, whoever you love, whatever your skin color - we're into it. Please apply.
