As an Adobe Student Ambassador at the University of Michigan, I connected campus outreach with hands-on workshops, Adobe Express demonstrations, promotional design, and student engagement.
Adobe develops creative software used for visual communication, content production, and design. My campus ambassador work focused on helping University of Michigan students understand what they could make with Adobe tools and giving them a practical way to get started.
The role connected brand representation with education. It involved explaining the tools, reaching students through campus relationships and social content, and creating opportunities to try design in a supported setting.
I developed a campus marketing plan, promoted Adobe through personal social channels and outreach, and planned and delivered workshops. I also worked with student organizations, demonstrated Adobe Express, and created custom merchandise using the platform.
My work brought together the planning behind an event, the creative materials used to promote it, and the in-person experience of helping students turn an idea into something visual.
I organized the marketing plan around individual students, student organizations, and faculty contacts. Those groups offered different ways to introduce Adobe: personal creative work, organization promotion, and classroom use.
The outreach plan set a scope of at least 250 student leads, 20 clubs, and five professors. I use those numbers as the plan’s outreach scope, not as verified final conversion totals.
Workshops made the software relevant through a concrete creative activity. I demonstrated Adobe Express and helped students turn their ideas into visuals, including custom merchandise.
This connected product education to something students could make and share. The work required clear explanations and support for people with different levels of design experience.
I created promotional materials and social content, worked with campus organizations, and supported the workshop experience. The photos below show an Adobe Express event flyer, a classroom session, and the ambassador presence around the program.
The outreach and the workshop were parts of the same effort: help someone understand the opportunity, make the next step easy to find, and support them once they arrived.
Beyond campus workshops, the role gave me opportunities to connect with other creators and represent my university at Adobe events, including Adobe Create Now in Detroit.
Those experiences connected my interests in design, content, and community-building, while giving me more practice communicating a brand’s tools through my own experience using them.
A marketing plan, outreach to campus audiences, student-organization relationships, and social promotion that introduced Adobe tools and learning opportunities.
Four or more workshops covering Adobe applications, with demonstrations and support that helped students apply what they were learning.
Promotional materials and custom merchandise created with Adobe Express, connecting the tool’s capabilities to practical student projects.
A visible student presence for the program through campus activity, social content, ambassador materials, and creative events.

Across two academic years, I planned and delivered four or more workshops, created promotional work, and supported Adobe’s presence on campus. My résumé reports increased awareness and Creative Cloud activations, although it does not include a measured activation total or percentage lift.
The strongest visible evidence is the work itself: workshop delivery, student-facing promotion, campus participation, and a second year in the ambassador program.
This experience strengthened my ability to move between planning, design, facilitation, and brand communication. Explaining a tool in a workshop also made me pay attention to the distance between what a product can do and what someone needs to understand to begin using it.
In a future program, I would connect outreach, registrations, attendance, and follow-up activity in one tracking system. That would make it easier to see which activities brought students into a workshop and which helped them keep creating afterward.
