Canva and Spotify early employees have joined the team at AI-powered audio platform Wondercraft. The London-based company’s platform boasts hyper-realistic AI voices, seamless music and sound mixing, a versatile AI script and ad copy assistant, and powerful audio translation tools. Wondercraft has welcomed the first full-time product designer and former head of digital design at graphic design platform Canva, Didier Sibellas, as its head of design. Sibellas joins Wondercraft’s global team of audio experts and engineers, co-founded by former COO at Acast and early Spotify employee Oskar Serrander and Palantir engineers Dimitris Nikolaou and Youssef Rizk. The company has also welcomed Spotify engineers onto its growing team.
Sibellas believes that Wondercraft reminds him of the early Canva days with its focus and passion for making content and ad production accessible, fun, and fast. Wondercraft is being used by more than 40,000 storytellers, creatives, audio ad producers, and brands, including podcast company Acast. The company announced a $3m Seed round led by Will Ventures, Y Combinator, ElevenLabs, Steven Bartlett, and other angels in February 2024.
Wondercraft aims to continue investing in world-class design and UX to serve and delight its rapidly growing user base of professional creatives, brands, and agencies. Serrander believes that there is no better place to find talent than one of the most game-changing, design-focused brands in the world, which is why the team draws inspiration from Canva and is excited to have Sibellas on the team. The founders are united in building a mission-driven culture and tackling hard problems with simple yet beautiful expressions.
In conclusion, Wondercraft has some of the best talents in the industry, making it one of the top players in the AI-powered audio platform.
