Melanie Perkins — The girl who created a unicorn
from Fierce Girls · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Ever wanted to change the world? Melanie Perkins did — she just needed the right problem to solve. Then it hit her. She tutored university students in graphic design, and they all had the same complaint: the software was too complicated.Melanie knew there must be an easier way. She thought everyone should be able to make beautiful, professional looking images. So, she cleared a space in her mum's living room and got to work. She perfected her pitch, flew to the other side of the world to Silicon Valley, faced a LOT of rejection until, finally, her billion-dollar company Canva was born.Narrated by multi-award-winning STEM journalist and Wiradjuri woman Rae Johnston
