Are you ready to shape the future of data-driven storytelling?

In this 6-week externship, you’ll design AI-driven templates that turn raw data into campaign-ready presentations. Working with curated real-world datasets and Canva’s integrated Flourish tool, you’ll move beyond static visuals to create interactive, dynamic charts and visualizations bringing data to life directly inside Canva.

These extern-created templates will act as demo assets for Canva’s sales and enterprise teams, showcasing Canva’s ability to compete with tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Adobe. For example:

  • A “Scalable Marketing Campaign Kit” could help a global brand like LATAM Airlines manage 100+ campaigns per day.
  • Sustainability dashboards could be pitched to ESG teams.
  • Fundraising kits could be shared with nonprofit clients and education partners.

Top projects will be showcased publicly, giving you the chance to make your mark on a global platform while building portfolio-ready skills in AI design and data storytelling.

Also get FREE 3-month access to Canva pro if you're part of this externship! It typically costs $15/month which is a $45 value you get for free as an Extern member.

Project Output

Design and create a professional-grade Canva demo asset that Enterprise Teams at Canva will use as Sales & Marketing collateral to demonstrate the power of Canva against other data visualization tools in the growing competitive landscape of tools. Top projects will be showcased publicly, showing employers your design, storytelling, and data capabilities.

What past Externs have to say

Erik Schalk
Beats by Dre Extern
"Extern played a crucial role in bridging the gap between my formal business education & real-world application. The opportunity to present actionable recommendations to the Head of Customer Insights at Beats by Dre was invaluable, propelling my leadership journey and paving the way for my current role at Rolls-Royce.”
Now a Project Lead
at Rolls-Royce
Tori Nguyen
AT&T Extern
“I credit the Externship as the sole reason I was hired to intern at AT&T. I had never heard of the AT&T internship program and would never have applied to it if I hadn’t gone through the Externship. It allowed me to develop my skills, showcase my work and ultimately stand out so I was awarded the opportunity to interview the CEO of AT&T!”

Richard Wilson
Meta Extern
"The Externship is a great way to introduce students to what it is like to work on a project. I became a lot more data-focused and analytical in my approach. As an industrial engineering major, people questioned how the externship was related to my studies. My journey has shown me that you don’t have to be limited by your major."

Maisa Mirza
HP Tech Ventures Externship
“During my venture capital externship, I learned how to use industry-standard metrics and tools like SQL and Tableau to determine startup success potential.This opportunity helped me stand out as a candidate and opened new doors for me - including offers from EY and Accenture."

Garrett Boyce
HP Tech Ventures Externship
“If I hadn’t done a VC externship during term time, I know I’d be spending hours watching YouTube videos just to understand which careers I might enjoy! I don’t think I fully understood the value of an externship till I actually did one and now I want to argue that externships should be a part of the college experience for every student.”
Now an Analyst at Boston Consulting Group
Diego Juarez
Crafted Capital Externship
“My Externship really changed my career trajectory. As students, we often chase after Fortune 500 work experiences, but the intimate experience of getting to work with a startup can actually really help you learn a lot and level up what you can bring to the table. My cohort even had the opportunity to speak with the founder of Crafted Capital and learn from his firsthand experience.”
