I met Libby<\/a> years ago from running into her at conferences. She was with Typekit and would be at the conference bringing their their super cool \u201cpop up library\u201d full of typographic books. She\u2019s still at Adobe now, but running the Adobe Creative Resident<\/a> program.<\/p>\n The program is now entering it\u2019s second year. What\u2019s it all about? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Headers are me, the rest is Libby.<\/p>\n For Adobe Creative Residents, the program is about committing to a personal passion project, whether as a visual artist or as a designer, and putting so much creativity and energy into it that it changes your career. The intention is for the year a person is a resident to be the beginning of something bigger that will grow in the years to follow. <\/p>\n The first year has been an incredible journey. We are fortunate to have Kelli Anderson<\/a> and Becky Simpson<\/a> as our first ever residents. <\/p>\nThis is an opportunity to have the freedom to fully commit to being a visual artist for a year, right?<\/h3>\n
