Main Content
Thanks to a partnership between UW-IT and University Marketing & Communications, all UW students, staff and faculty now have access to the Canva design platform at no cost to you or your units.
Canva’s online design tools allow you to easily create UW Tacoma-branded communications — think social media posts, presentations, posters, videos — and we’ll provide you with all the resources to get started. We've built a UW Tacoma Brand Kit in Canva that provides fonts, colors, photos, templates and more for you to use.
Happy collaborating!
