**Pro tip if you use Photoshop on iPad 👀**

Found this one hiding in the archives, but still relevant today 🤙

Need to remove a background?
Just hit **Select Subject** and let Photoshop do the hard work.

One tap → subject selected → background gone. ✂️

Such a simple little feature, but it saves me so much time.

What Photoshop trick do you use all the time? 👇

Can a Scotsman make pizza? 🇬🇧🍕

Turns out… absolutely yes. 😂

Spent the weekend watching my Scottish mate work his magic on the Gosney wood-fired oven 🔥🍕

And of course jumped in the outdoor spa and had a few drinks. 😂🍻♨️

Not a bad way to spend a weekend.

And yes… the pizza was actually bloody good. 👌

When I said I liked his hat, I didn’t expect this. 😂☕️

A while back, I was working with my old colleague Chris (yes, another Chris 😂) who lives in Sacramento, and we quickly discovered we shared a pretty serious love of coffee.

One day he was wearing this hat that just said **COFFEE** on it.

So naturally, I said… “I need that hat.”

Fast forward a little while aaannnddd…

📦 A FedEx package arrives from Sacramento.

I open it up and he’d only gone and sent me

THE COFFEE HAT 😂☕️

Chris had actually remembered that random comment and decided to send me the hat all the way to Australia.

Honestly, it’s the little things like this that make you appreciate the people you meet through work. You never know when a random conversation, a shared love of coffee or a stupid comment about a hat is going to turn into a great memory.

Thanks Chris the hat is now officially getting some Aussie coffee miles. 🇦🇺☕️

I’ve got the travel tech. Now I need to actually make the travel time work for me. ✈️

Flights, airport waits and even the back of an Uber are perfect for getting the little things done like emails, notes, reminders, planning ahead… even a bit of creative work.

That way, when I actually get to the office, I can spend less time catching up and more time getting stuck into the work.

Basically… if I’m going to be stuck on a plane, I may as well make it useful. 😂

20 minutes into checking in to my hotel and…….

“Sorry, we’re having an issue with the system.” 💻🙃

Everyone has heard this before in some way shape or form!

To be fair, the guy checking me in was a legend and upgraded my room for the inconvenience. 🫡🏨

So I guess the system crashing was worth the wait in the end 😂

It’s update day. ☕️🔄🍎

iPhone 15 Pro ✅
iPad Pro ✅
Apple Watch Ultra ✅
MacBook Pro ✅

There’s something about sitting down with a coffee while all your tech updates at once. 😂

Will you be updating your Apple devices to iOS 27, or are you waiting to see what everyone else thinks first? 👀

My “minimalist” work travel setup… well apparently minimalist by my standards 😂

After years of travelling for work, these are the tech bits that actually earn a spot in my travel bag:

Laptop, iPad, headphones, chargers… and yes, the Switch 2. For very important downtime 🎮

What’s one piece of tech you never travel without? 👇

7 years at Adobe today. WOW 😮

Time really does fly when you’re working in an industry that never stops evolving and below I’ve got 7 lessons to share that I’ve learnt, but first…

…what I find really interesting is that when I started, the conversations were about:

👉 cloud workflows
👉 collaboration
👉 and creative tools

Today we’re talking about:

👉 AI
👉 automation
👉 and accelerating creativity

But after 7 years, one thing has not changed:

⭐️ Creativity is still Human

So here are my 7 lessons that I’ve learnt along the way:

1️⃣ The best technology amplifies creativity, it doesn’t replace it
2️⃣ The most valuable skill is curiosity
3️⃣ The best demos are actually great stories
4️⃣ Creative people are some of the most passionate problem solvers I’ve ever met
5️⃣ The future of work is collaboration between humans and machines
6️⃣ Authenticity matters more than ever in a world of automation
7️⃣ And finally… work is more fun when you work with legends

I’m incredibly grateful to work with amazing teammates and customers across the industry.

Every day we get to help creatives, marketers, filmmakers and storytellers push what’s possible.

7 years down and I’m still just getting started!

Enjoy some memorable photos over the last 7 years 👇

Here are my 2026 predictions for AI based on what I’ve been seeing working in the creative and technology space 🤖

AI is improving every single day and it’s becoming clear that it will be deeply integrated into the tools and platforms we use.

But the bigger shift might not be technological… it might be human 🧬

As automation increases, people are going to value:

👉 authentic voices
👉 real human perspectives
👉 and genuine connection more than ever

Curious to hear what others are seeing in their industries as well.

What prediction resonates with you the most?

AI is getting better at execution every single week.

Faster outputs, cleaner results and smarter systems.

But execution was never the scarce skill.

The real shift isn’t about who can use the tools best.

It’s about who can:

• Decide what’s worth building
• Set the right constraints
• Choose what should happen next

AI predicts patterns.

Humans define direction.

That gap is where the leverage is.

And it’s not closing anytime soon.

AI is getting better at execution every week 🏎️

But execution was never the rare skill!!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about what actually compounds in a world where everyone has access to the same models.

And there are three human capabilities that matter more now than they did before.

👉 They’re not technical
👉 They’re not trendy
👉 And they don’t show up in prompts

Swipe to see what they are 👉
