When I first stumbled upon Canva, I was amazed and overwhelmed by all the possibilities with Canva.

Now, after years of designing, it’s safe to say I know a thing or two about it. First thing that annoys any Canva user is not knowing what to type in the elements tab to get EXACTLY what we want.
Not everyone is good at vocabulary and it is a hassle to endlessly search for our desired element when we are in the process of designing.
Heck, sometimes even we don’t know what we want!
