episode 44: @ScottBelsky | Maximizing Your Creativity with Adobe CPO Scott Belsky
On this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we chatted with entrepreneur, seed investor and CPO of Adobe, Scott Belsky. As the former founder and CEO of Behance, Belsky built one of the largest platforms for showcasing creative work and has spent most of his career building tools to empower content creators. Before being acquired by Adobe in 2012, we hear how Belksy and his team navigated and ultimately organized the once messy world of design. We dive deep into Belsky’s vision for the future of design and how Adobe will usher in the era of augmented reality with imaginative initiatives like Project Aero, a powerful AR authoring tool for designers to make immersive content. Building the tools that will define the roles of designers and creators of the future is a heavy task but one that Belsky thoughtfully embraces and seems to deeply enjoy. In a time when we are all inundated with screens and notifications, Belsky believes that disconnecting can be a real advantage and one that he practices regularly. As an early investor in Uber, Warby Parker, Pinterest, Sweetgreen and Periscope, Belsky has an eye for transformative technologies and businesses that will lead us into the future. We’re excited to share this episode and recommend it for anyone looking to maximize their creative output.
