2023 Sharks and Adobe Creator Fellowship
In the summer of 2023, I had the privilege of being selected by my hometown hockey team for the 2nd season of the San Jose Sharks and Adobe Creator Fellowship. Along with 7 other emerging creatives, I expanded on creative design, motion graphics, photography, videography, and Adobe Creative Cloud skills via collaboration, instruction, and hands-on projects from the San Jose Sharks and Adobe creative teams. It was a fantastic dive into the world of creative media for athletics. Our work has been/will be featured on Sharks social media and in-game at SAP Center during the 2023-2024 hockey season.
