Illustrator was the first Adobe tool I learned. I started beta testing the app when I was 19 (I don't think Adobe knew) and have used it for half my life. I'll have more to say tomorrow, but the launch of Illustrator on the iPad is a career highlight. This is just the beginning.

Take home design tests are bad and are used by hiring managers who can’t assess talent properly. They abuse the power dynamic between those with jobs and those without. They put the burden on the person looking and weed out candidates who can’t afford to do days of unpaid work.

I loved these as a kid! I now lead a huge design team at one of the most creative companies in the world. There is a direct line between kits like this and my current job. Anything that promotes creativity in kids is good - full stop.
PSA: If you’re doing shopping for artsy kids this holiday season, avoid these art sets. Every artist I know got these as a kid and LOATHED them, because the quality sucks. Instead, find out what medium the kid likes and get nice versions of that specific thing.

Broad advice like this can be detrimental to early career designers. Workplace toxicity is a big part of frequent moves - stop blaming the individual.
Here is the
#1
most important career advice I can give:
DO NOT HAVE A RESUME FULL OF SHORT STINTS.
Roughly, more than 3 consecutive jobs with less than ~18 months tenure is career danger zone.
