In this episode we have the pleasure of speaking with design advocate, Val Head. We ask Val about her story of how she connected with Adobe and what she’s doing with them now. We also talk a bit about Adobe XD and where it’s going in the future. Then we discuss what VR and AR will look like in the coming years, and the opportunities that await us.

And of course we dive into Val’s phobia of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood of Make-Believe, and why she wants everyone to send her a King Friday puppet.
