Responsibilities

Define and drive the design vision for Adobe GenStudio, centered on AI-first, agentic workflows. Champion the evolution from traditional creative editing to intelligence-layer design—where AI, data, and human creativity intersect.

Lead end-to-end design across core areas of GenStudio. Partner with engineering to ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and performant.
Champion a tinkerer’s mindset: experimenting with prototypes, emerging UI patterns (chat + canvas + editor), and new generative AI capabilities. Create spaces for rapid experimentation (Labs-style pilots, internal playtesting, customer co-design).
Translate evolving customer insights and enterprise feedback into actionable design strategies with a focus on short and long-term impact. Advocate for marketer needs and ensure design decisions are grounded in research and real-world usage.
