Making art for Paige. I started yesterday on the anniversary of her death, but it was too hard. I’m back at it today. She loved Labyrinth and had a ‘Should you need us’ tattoo. I thought I’d draw the characters and make a poster for her. Here’s the progress so far today.

We’ve got a lot of work ahead, and I’m more excited than ever for what’s coming.

Here’s to continued community building—and a bold future for pro creative tools at Adobe.

Huge thanks to the Illustrator VIPs who joined us. Your openness, insights, and energy are everything.

As a designer at Adobe, I don’t just build features - I advocate for our users and work to ensure their voices are reflected in every decision we make.

I’m back at work today, energized and inspired. I’m bringing with me valuable feedback for the Illustrator team and important messages to share with our leaders.

Events like this are a powerful reminder of why community matters. Listening—really listening—to our users’ experiences is how we build better software and stronger relationships. Our products mean nothing without the people who use them.

But most importantly, we connected—talking about design, illustration, work, AI, community, and the future of Illustrator.

This past Friday, I had the privilege of attending the Adobe Illustrator VIP Community Summit in New York.

Together with my Adobe colleagues and Illustrator community VIPs, we spent the day immersed in product demos, collaborative discussions, and honest feedback sessions.

My first Bluesky post should be art… so here’s a piece I finished tonight - Neptune.
