How I Mastered Canva as a Social Media Intern at Belad Tech Academy

What is Canva?

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design platform that empowers anyone—regardless of experience—to create beautiful and professional-looking designs. With its drag-and-drop interface, vast library of templates, images, and elements, Canva has become a go-to tool for creators, marketers, and businesses worldwide. Whether you’re designing social media graphics, presentations, or videos, Canva makes it easy and fun.

My time as a Social Media Intern at Belad Tech Academy was an eye-opening and skill-boosting experience. Through hands-on practice and real-world tasks, I discovered how powerful Canva can be—not just for graphic design, but for storytelling, branding, and digital content creation.
