Dianah Ward

Head of Learning, Canva

Sydney

Dianah is a Talent specialist and registered Business Psychologist with a passion for applying psychology to design compelling and impactful employee experiences. This passion has lead Dianah to pursue a unique career in learning experience design.

Having previously consulted with companies across a broad range of people matters, from leadership and team development, talent strategy and employee experience, she found most people programs missed the mark with a lack of focus on data, innovation and design thinking.

Dianah finally found her calling when she joined a Learning Centre of Excellence at EY in London, UK. Here she worked with companies around the world to embed new learning strategies, programs and technology that transformed traditional ways of learning. Dianah now works as the Head of Learning for Canva establishing Canva’s first ever learning & development function, Canva University.
