What excites you most about this opportunity? I want to think about how we could develop custom brushes and tools for people working in a 3-D environment and creating 3-D environments and virtual reality environments. I’ll be an ambassador for Adobe communicating with the illustration community across all areas of the industry, so animators, people who work in the more traditional illustration roles like magazine and book illustration, people who create product illustrations, people who work in custom lettering, lettering art and even font creation based on drawing, and people working in the AR and VR spaces. I want to really accelerate the development of new and exciting digital drawing and painting experiences for the customer. I’m really there I think to come at it from the point of view of a working illustrator, somebody who relies on Adobe software and has relied on Adobe software for the last almost 20 years to do literally every piece of art I’ve ever created. I want to help create the future of digital drawing and painting, define what that is and also make it so good that illustrators around the world are just rejoicing and doing backflips and freaking out about what we offer.
