Senior Designer, Adobe Creative

You are a maker first. You care deeply about typography, image-making, composition, and the details that make an idea feel fully resolved. 

What You’ll Do 

Design Across the Work 

• Create high-quality design across campaigns, multi-platform design, product storytelling, and live experiences.  

• Develop work from early concept and visual exploration through design development and final execution.  

• Apply exceptional craft across typography, image-making, layout, composition and art direction.  

• Work across high-velocity everyday output and highly crafted flagship work.  

• Adapt strong ideas across channels and formats without losing their intelligence or visual impact. 

• Create work that feels connected and recognizably Adobe while remaining fresh, distinctive and culturally relevant. 

Turn Ideas into Visual Worlds 

• Partner with Creative Directors, Design Directors and Art Directors to develop visual territories and creative systems.

• Bring a strong visual point of view while remaining open to collaboration and critique. 

Build Scalable Creative Systems

Advance AI-Native Design

• Use AI-enabled workflows to expand visual exploration and accelerate iteration without lowering the standard.  

• Apply human judgment, taste and craft to all AI-assisted work.  

• Help define where AI can support scale and where human authorship and intervention remain essential.
