I would like to start by thanking Sierra Calhoun-Pollard for helping us take advantage of this amazing opportunity. Nico Bisceglia, Amanda Hollohan, and I had been looking forward to the AdobeMAX 2024 Creative Conference for some time now. I can confidently say that our expectations were blown away with how it turned out, and I couldn’t think of two better individuals to share that experience with. The Adobe team and their sponsors put on an absolute spectacle of a conference, showcasing their amazing work, products, and *possible* future innovations for everyone to enjoy regardless of their field. Coming out of this event, I plan to pursue my skills in the business world as well as explore my regained love for the world of Digital Arts and Design. I’m looking forward to what the future has in store for me, and to those of you I met at the conference I would like to thank you for the insight and advice you have given me. This event will forever be a monumental moment in my life, and I wish to attend again in the future if the opportunity arises!
