Subject: Canva Creators – technical template design collaboration

Hi Canva team,

I'm Abinaya, a Design Verification Engineer with an M.S. in ECE and an active IEEE member (Technical Committee member and reviewer). I create educational content on semiconductor design verification, UVM/SystemVerilog and AI for hardware for an engaged audience of practicing and aspiring engineers on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Why I'm reaching out: The realistic fit is design-adjacent assets — engineering diagram, carousel and presentation templates for a technical audience. I'd love to explore a collaboration through the Canva Creators Program — creating genuinely useful assets rather than a one-off promo.

A few ideas I had in mind:

  • Template pack: 'Technical LinkedIn carousels for engineers.'
  • Engineering diagram / block-diagram template set.
  • Conference-talk slide template for researchers.

I'm equally open to unpaid, product/access-based or ambassador arrangements — my priority is a long-term, trusted relationship. Could I send over a short proposal and content samples, or connect with the right person on your team?

Thank you for your time and for the work Canva does for the engineering community.

Warm regards,

Abinaya
