With no experience in design, Sam Tyrrell rose to the title of King of Canva at AlixPartners and went Behind the Post to tell you everything you need to know to master Canva yourself. 

Sam walks us through the process they have in place when creating content on Canva, including how he trains his wider marketing team to create designs, what the approval process looks like, and how he ensures all designs stay on-brand.

Being part of a company big on employee advocacy and personal branding, Sam is passionate about translating this company value through visuals as well. He walks us through how he encourages his colleagues to use design to help their employees showcase their personalities online. 

Sam also entered fire-round questions to share his best practices, go-to features, design pet peeves, and the biggest lessons he’s learned along the way to taking the throne.
