experience
I designed Adobe Express templates for people with no design training, so every decision had to work inside Adobe’s asset rules and guidelines while staying simple for a layman to edit and make their own. My process began with research, especially for festive briefs, where I checked cultural and seasonal context before sketching thumbnails, then built within safe zones and formats and took each template through internal review and QC. Working to fixed briefs and daily quotas taught me to treat a template as a system rather than a single design, and to keep adapting as Adobe’s guidelines evolved.
