TIMELINE

8 Weeks

Overview

In collaboration with Adobe, I led the creative direction and design of a merchandise system for a series of Adobe Firefly events. The goal was to move beyond traditional swag and create a more intentional, story-led experience that creatives would genuinely connect with.

Approach

Inspired by the idea of creative expression as headline-worthy, I developed a newspaper-inspired visual system that captured the cultural momentum surrounding Adobe Firefly. The concept extended across pins, notebooks, and stickers, designed as a cohesive, collectible series rather than standalone items.

Impact

The final collection reframed event merchandise as a branded experience, turning emerging ideas around AI into something tangible and shareable. It created a lasting touchpoint for creatives while reinforcing Adobe’s presence within the evolving creative landscape.

It all began with a sketch...

A single newspaper layout captured the energy and momentum of the Adobe Firefly events and became the blueprint for a concept-driven merchandise system. From this simple sketch, the idea expanded into a cohesive series of pins, notebooks, and stickers that translated digital innovation into tangible, collectible experiences.

Creativity as a Shared Identity

Adobe Merch transforms brand affinity into a physical expression of community. The system reinforces belonging within the creative ecosystem through bold, adaptable design rooted in self-expression.
