I served as the Creative Director for a project in collaboration between the School of Media Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology and the Digital Publishing division at Adobe Systems. The implementation of the first release of the app was designed, developed, and released utilizing the pre-release, beta and public stages for release of Adobe Digital Publishing Solution.
Both a phone and tablet design were created, and two separate workflows were managed in order to publish to multiple devices. Click here to watch the mobile edition video walkthrough.

A FEW PERSONAL WORDS ABOUT ADOBE MAX
I was taking notes. And I was taking notes from session pamphlets, a notebook I had found and my iPhone, which all together, had me thinking...
I attended Adobe Max. The highest expectations I had for attending my first conference of this caliber at only 20 years old speaks volumes in and of itself. It’s intimidating - surrounded by professionals nearly twice or three times my own age, advising me into a field they feel they had well pioneered. And they were seeking people to trust.
And there were over 3,000 people at this conference. You cannot feel the pressure of this event without loosing a bit of sleep hoping you may speak to the detail of it all. And while the battle of opportunity fought my creative interest of other sessions of the 3-day conference, I leave it changed, and in this era I think, well why the creative battle, now?
I know my career goal. I’ve been motivated by reputable speakers for hours this week in elements of design; But I have also been in the audience of publishers and variable data project managers.
This all started to sound like my school, and my degree at at RIT on paper.
After four years, some guidance laughed when I mentioned, that…

Maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing.
You have to think, at my age, and at a time when applying to jobs keeps you up at night - be open to, “what if they were right?” I cannot imagine a successful conference if the audience had not played this level of design and workflow advocacy that I had experienced. And my curriculum had taught me this all along.
After all, here I was on merit, at this conference that initially had shown like a glistening vacation awarded from the late nights of implementation I had for the months preceding this conference. But truly? I had found I had not predicted this.
This is an overwhelming creative privilege. The secular barriers of the finest artists mentioned in lectures - they were here, and they smiled when I spoke to them.
I do choose my job applications based on title and references, ones by relevancy and a gleam of hope to be shepherded in to to a company. But beyond that, the exposure to networking is challenging - as it may always be for myself, or regardless of my enthusiasm, so I have concluded. But enveloping the creative exposure through my first Adobe Max conference helped me recognize the believability in my position, regardless of my (exclusively undergraduate) experience, because I was confident in the believability of my industry.
Finally, I recognized the atmosphere, universal pride and agency for creative development has no discrimination of age. No discrimination of experience is held with years surrounding. The commitment, vision and appreciation for visual commodities is what makes this corporation and creative dependents a step above the rest.
