For the second bonus episode in this season, Teresa Au shares chats hosted by her Adobe colleagues Kladi Vergine and Elise Swopes.
First we hear from Jack Watson, a brand designer, solopreneur, and social media star — all at just 21 years old. Jack shares how he discovered design tools, his foray into concert promotion, and how an international retailer found his work.
Next, eclectic artist Dewey Saunders describes his creative journey from pen-and-ink to collage to digital design. Plus, Dewey shares his musician origins, how he’s influenced by music, and why he’s a go-to collaborator for musicians like Future and Anderson .Paak.
These conversations are from Creative Connection Live, an Instagram Live show hosted by Adobe evangelists that features one guest and three questions in 15 minutes. You can find episodes at @iamkladi, @swopes, and @lugidesign.
