Wondercraft

AI-driven audio production platform Wondercraft has boosted its executive team with the hiring of former Canva product designer Didier Sibellas as its new Head of Design. This matches Wondercraft’s goal of becoming the “Canva for Audio,” as it calls itself.

Sibellas joins co-founders Oskar Serrander, a former Spotify and Acast executive, and engineers Dimitris Nikolaou and Youssef Rizk from Palantir, alongside new team members from Spotify.

Launched after exiting Beta earlier this year, Wondercraft supports various audio creations from ads to audiobooks and podcasts in multiple languages, featuring AI voices, advanced music, and sound mixing capabilities, plus tools for script and ad copy generation and audio translation.

Sibellas aims to infuse the platform with Canva’s user-friendly design ethos to enhance creativity and streamline audio ad production.

Oskar Serrander commented, “We want to continue investing in world-class design and UX to serve and delight our rapidly growing user base of professional creatives, brands and agencies. And what better place to find talent than one of the most game-changing, design-focused brands in the world? We draw so much inspiration from Canva and we’re excited to have Didier on the team.”

Sibellas said, “Wondercraft reminds me so much of the early Canva days. The focus and passion for making content and ad production accessible, fun and fast is tangible in every discussion with the team. Apart from the obvious excitement for the product value and opportunity, what really clicked for me was how united the founders are in building a mission-driven culture and tackling hard problems with simple yet beautiful expressions.”
