, Executive Creative Director, Warriors Studio, Golden State Warriors
The best creative isn’t made on an assembly line. The Golden State Warriors broke down creative silos — exploring four creative territories together on Adobe Firefly Boards, then executing in specialized Creative Cloud tools. The result? The basketball team’s most ambitious creative campaign to date. Join Cristina Pandol, Executive Creative Director, Golden State Warriors, as she details lessons learned on their road to a modernized workflow.

In this session, you'll explore:
- Centralized ideation: shifting early concepting from isolated apps to a single Firefly Board where all crafts are co-created together
- Specialized execution: moving from ideation into specialized Adobe tools — Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Frame.io, Premiere — enhanced by native Firefly-powered features
- End-to-end delivery: connecting the entire creative ecosystem — from initial ideation to media day captures, OOH installations, live venue LED boards, and real-time Frame.io camera-to-cloud social publishing

, Founder & CEO, The Future in Black, LLC.
, Sr. Principal Product Designer, Adobe
, Sr. Engagement Manager, Creative Higher Education, Adobe
If everything we make is built on what came before, was anything ever truly ours? And when AI can generate almost anything, what does it even mean to be creative?

What began as an Adobe and Parsons collaboration became a deeper interrogation of authorship, ownership, and creative identity.

Join Parsons Dean Jeongki Lim, graduate student Pallavi Chattoraj, The Future in Black founder and creative director Joy Fennell, and Adobe senior principal design leader Brooke Hopper, moderated by Adobe senior engagement manager Julienne DeVita. Together, they’ll ask what happens when making becomes easy but deciding what deserves to exist does not, because the future of creativity isn’t about generating more. It’s about the ideas, taste, craft, and creative intelligence that make something worth making.

Join Melissa Gutierrez, Senior Experience Designer at Adobe and Miami native, as she explores how personal nostalgia became shared art. Melissa will show how she turned memories of her Miami hometown into illustrations that found an audience on social media (@westofchester). At Adobe, Melissa uses these ideas with the creator community, building an experience that guides users through trend-aware exercises so they walk away with content to post and stronger instincts.

You’ll learn:
- Why hyper-specific personal stories often resonate the widest, from Miami to a global audience
- How a personal project grew into a published children's book and brand collaborations with Miami Heat, Apple, and Momofuku
- How Melissa is bringing those lessons to Adobe's creator community through hands-on exercises to build content and curate feeds

, Artist, ADAM JK
When there’s no limit to what you can create, the hardest question isn’t how, it’s why. Artist and NOW WHAT? author Adam J. Kurtz returns with a follow-up to his top-rated 2023 talk, sharing what happens when “be yourself” starts to actually work. With his signature heart, humor, and anecdotes that will make you feel better about your own f'ed-up creative process, Adam connects personal expression to real-world success without pretending it’s a clean or linear path.

Let’s get personal:
- Connect who you are to what you make, and why it matters
- Reframe the big questions around failure, change, and the unexpected weight of success
- Explore what profit really looks like — financial, creative, and otherwise
This is a true story of growing from “popular online” to doing major client work, selling a million books, and opening a retail business, and the lessons, doubts, and surprises along the way.

, Graphic Designer, Dansky
The difference between good design and great design is rarely a single bold decision — it lives in the details most people rush past. In this session, graphic designer and educator Dan White, better known as Dansky, breaks down the micro-decisions around spacing, margins, alignment, and typography that quietly show whether a design feels polished or off. Learn to spot what's not quite working, understand why it isn't, and how to fix it. You’ll leave with a sharper ability to make intentional design decisions and the vocabulary to explain them.

In this session, you’ll learn:
- Why small spacing and alignment decisions have an outsized impact on how professional work feels
- How to diagnose — and fix — designs that look off
- A practical framework for making intentional typographic choices that elevate any piece
- The vocabulary to articulate design quality to clients and collaborators

In this hands-on session, Adobe community manager and Adobe Express evangelist Jordan Dené Ellis and creative entrepreneur, educator, and Adobe Express global ambassador Lucas O'Keefe break down the exact planning systems, creative workflows, and AI-powered tools that helped Lucas grow his own audience to over 400,000 followers.

, Creative Director and Designer, Mishaspice
Ramisha Sattar built a globally recognized visual universe out of scrapbook collages, hand-drawn type, and a refusal to make anything that wasn't fun to make. As creative director for Chappell Roan, she's brought that handmade, personal aesthetic to album art, tour visuals, merch, and festival animations — at Coachella scale. She's breaking down exactly how she did it.

If you’re a creative — at any stage — who feels like the fun has been squeezed out of the process, join Ramisha to explore:
- How a self-taught designer with a scrapbook aesthetic ended up animating for major music festivals and designing for global brands
- How to build a creative identity and personal brand so distinct that clients and collaborators come to you
- How to prioritize play and focus on the parts of your creative process that bring you the most joy
- How to combine analog techniques with digital tools to create immersive creative worlds

, Video Editor, Creative Director, and YouTube Storytelling Strategist, HillierSmith
Two editing languages are competing for dominance. Traditional storytelling is patient, invisible, and built to serve the narrative. Modern web media is aggressive, fast-cut, and engineered for fractured attention. But what if the tension isn't a rivalry — but a gap?

In this session, Hayden Hillier-Smith reveals that both approaches are incomplete versions of the same craft. Drawing from his work across long-form film and high-performance YouTube content, Hayden shares the unified editing philosophy he's developed: a modernized approach to classical principles that respects the attention economy without abandoning artistry. Because in a world optimized for the skip button, creatives who speak both languages are the ones whose stories get told.

You'll leave with:
- A practical framework combining classical narrative structure with modern pacing, applicable to any format
- A new lens for every creative decision, balancing narrative patience with attention-driven urgency so your work serves both the story and the audience

, Founder/CEO, The Futur
, Graphic Designer, Liz Mosley Design
Four years ago, a single rejection sent graphic designer Liz Mosley on a side quest she never could have predicted — one that started with a DM to Chris Do, CEO and Founder of The Futur — and ended up reshaping her entire career. That rejection sparked a challenge: To collect 100 of them. What she discovered changed everything.

In this session, Liz and Chris unpack why your fear of rejection is the real thing holding you back, the stories you're telling yourself about what "no" means, and why collecting rejections might be the best career move you’re not making.

Together they'll share:
- Why a "no" doesn't mean what you think it does
- How to turn rejection into momentum
- What it actually means if you're not getting rejected
- How to reframe fear as a signal — not a stop sign

As a creative, your work spans mediums from vector, raster, motion, 3D, and print, across sizes and surfaces. One minute you're building a key visual, the next, prepping packaging, while juggling brand guidelines, feedback, and a deadline. The real challenge isn't the craft, it's everything else: file formats, resizing, prepress, outdated logos. Join Adobe’s Kaleb Gonyea to see what's possible when it all lives on one canvas — precision where it matters, AI for the busywork.
We'll cover:
- Multi-media design in one document
- Brand systems that stay current across teams
- Print-safe output
- Best use of your existing Creative Cloud files, assets, and fonts
- Client review connected to the work itself
Whatever your role — designer, producer, strategist, marketer, business lead — join us to see how Adobe is shaping the future of pro design.

, Art Director, TBWA\ Ireland
, Copywriter, TBWA/Ireland
Just ten months into their careers, Hannah and Kate, known as HATE, represented Ireland at Cannes Young Lions. With 24 hours to answer the brief, they walked away with Ireland’s first-ever Gold for Print, and the country’s second Gold ever. They’ll unpack what it’s like to achieve something huge while still feeling like you’ve barely broken into the industry. Walk through the process behind their winning work, how being juniors shaped their approach, and why pretending to know what you’re doing can get in the way of doing something interesting.

Explore:
- How having no expectations took pressure off and let them be braver
- How they recognized the right idea, trusted it, and stopped searching once they’d found it
- Why they didn’t turn to more experienced creatives for validation
