The opportunity
The Adobe Design Brand team is a collaborative and creative multidisciplinary group that defines the visual brand system across all Adobe products. From product logos to illustrations, animations, and branded UX elements, we shape how Adobe products show up in the world. We work in pixels, but we also create books, posters, swag, and large-scale graphics. We believe in the strength of team critique and obsess over details and craft. We communicate our ideas to a wide range of audiences, both internally and externally to the company. This is big, broad, challenging, and fun work that is highly visible.
