Christina (CJ) Jones

Howdy 👋🏻 I’m the Head of Design for Generative AI at Canva 🇦🇺 My focus is creating sustainable and useful AI experiences for our hundreds of millions of users across the world. You can read more about How we’re infusing AI into Canva and Designing magical experiences in the AI era.

I thrive on building products and growing teams at a global scale. Coming from an advertising background, my strengths are creating long-term strategies and rallying teams through iterative discovery.

Previously, I worked on the transport and food delivery businesses at Grab 🏍, research on search at the Allen Institute for AI 🔍, pet-centered marketplace at Rover 🐶, and consulting for various non-profits and SaaS companies 💅🏻.
