Adobe Systems, 2008 - Current
Senior Digital Media Designer
I'm currently working with a team to redesign Adobe's Creative Suite 4 website which will launch in the Fall of 2008. I work with various disciplines such as Adobe's internal brand team as well as information architects, engineering development, and lead the visual design team. At this point I feel that my main focus is to maintain and promote Adobe's already strong presence in the interactive market through an engaging web experience.
