Adobe Systems - REMOTE

Feb 2017 – Mid 2017

For reasons I’m not entirely clear on, I was invited to participate in the private alpha for Adobe Project Felix, a new app aimed at bridging 2D design and 3D rendering workflows. That product would eventually be revealed as Adobe Dimension - a key tool in my creative workflows today.

At the time, I had only used 3D tools like SketchUp for practical workshop modeling. Rendering or integrating 3D into design workflows hadn’t yet crossed my mind, until I saw the early promise of Project Felix. When asked about how I might use Dimension, I emphasized that 3D could soon play a larger role in branding and identity, as logos and brand assets moved beyond static vectors into interactive and spatial formats. (At the time, the only new-ish format I knew of was SVG, and now we have three.js and Spline!)

My first walkthrough was with Jeannette Mathews, then Product Manager for Project Felix. That session changed everything for me. It was the beginning of a transition into 3D that would ultimately reshape how I approach visual communication and storytelling. I’ve continued to use Adobe Dimension since its launch, expanded to other 3D-related apps and have trained others on how to work in Dimension - always keeping that original excitement in mind.

Participating in Project Felix gave me a sense of where design was going. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of that, because it changed the way I think about design in a fundamental way.
