How Winning a Trip to Adobe MAX Changed My Creative Path

I entered an Adobe sweepstakes without thinking much of it… and somehow won a trip to Adobe MAX in LA (plus a 3-night hotel stay).

In this video I’m sharing how I won, what the prize included, and the creative mindset shifts that changed everything for me.

Today I’m telling the full story of how I won a trip to Adobe MAX — the in-person Adobe creativity conference — and why it became such a turning point in my creative journey (and honestly, a big reason I’m even on YouTube now).

I’m sharing:
– how I entered (and what I did / didn’t do)
– what the prize actually included
– what the conference experience was like
– the biggest creative lessons I brought home (especially in a season of motherhood + freelancing)

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your creativity, stuck in a messy season, or like you don’t have enough time to create the way you want… I hope this reminds you it’s still in you.
