• Partner with senior executives, product managers, senior engineering scientists and partners across the company to bring new product experiences to life.
• Create compelling presentation decks and demonstrate concepts at various stages of the design process.
• Serve as an ambassador of Adobe Design, promoting our principles and methods when working with other groups at Adobe.
