Celebrating the impact of our interns

At Adobe, our interns are invaluable - with each bringing new and exciting ideas that have a truly transformative impact on our company's culture and in driving product innovation. Each year we welcome a new cohort of interns, and their experience culminates in a full day of programming, networking sessions and fun and engaging games and events to recognize their unique contributions.

We checked in with our Adobe interns on National Intern Day to learn more about how they're building their future careers at Adobe. Here's what they had to say about exploring different paths, meeting inspiring people, and building skills and confidence for the adventures ahead.

Luke Hauver - Operations Analyst Intern, Digital Experience

Damisola Famuyiwa - Experience Design Intern, Adobe Design

I love how I've had the opportunity to connect with so many people, from fellow interns to team members and full-time employees. At Adobe, I genuinely feel appreciated and valued, not just for the work I create but for who I am as a person. It's incredible how approachable everyone is; sometimes, I didn't even realize I was speaking to a director or manager. I also love the freedom I've been given to define and create my intern project. Adobe's culture is truly unique.

Jordyn Harrison - Experience Design Intern, Adobe Design

Fahad Mubiru - Software Engineering Intern, Creative Cloud Experience

As a Software Engineering Intern at Adobe, I am empowered to work on projects that impact millions, making my work meaningful and rewarding. Adobe's core value of innovation is evident in every aspect of the company. The encouragement to experiment and take risks has enhanced my skills as a Software Engineer.

The company culture #AdobeForAll creates an environment where employees can be their true authentic selves. Through the employee networks and community spaces I felt welcome and valued.
This supportive atmosphere made me look forward to going into the office, knowing that I work alongside a group of other values-driven and highly supportive colleagues has made me look forward to going into the office each day. At Adobe, I rediscovered my passion for photography, cycling and hiking.

Drishti Jain - Software Development Engineering Intern, Sensei & Search

Working as a developer in the creative space is a great intersection. I have learnt a lot more about design and the creative process. Being able to talk with the designers at Adobe to get their feedback on projects, incorporating it in code, has been wonderful.

My project is aimed to empower small business as well as artists. I am thinking from their lens and incorporating features that will help them achieve creative freedom, and enable them to reach a wider audience through creative templates.

Mani Prathi - Software Engineer Intern, DMe GTM & Sales

My intern project is quite different from my existing skill set, but I was eager to learn and acquire new skills. Despite the challenges, I was ready to take it on, and my team fully supported me throughout the process. They provided the necessary resources and feedback, making me feel included as part of the team, even though I work independently. This support has boosted my confidence, allowing me to focus more on my work.

The community building and peer learning here are unmatched-I've connected with so many talented individuals who are passionate about their work. The people at Adobe truly make it a vibrant and inspiring place to be - and that place is an environment that thrives on innovation and inclusivity. There's an emphasis on community and peer learning has made this internship more than just a professional experience; it's been a journey of personal growth. This experience has not only sharpened my skills but also fueled my passion for leveraging technology to drive meaningful change.

Michael McGarvey - Software Engineer Intern

Leonela Villalobos - Associate Program Manager Intern

In a Q&A with Shantanu Narayen, Adobe's CEO, during Intern Summit, he shared with us that, "good ideas come from all different places" which conveys the value that Adobe finds within everyone, including interns. These words reinforced my belief that my ideas are both heard and considered.

Being someone who comes from a technical background I never imagined growing a passion for creativity - and now I no longer see creativity as something that only a certain group has but it can be trait that can be built and further explored, creativity has no limits. Adobe has provided me with the proper tools to realize that creativity knows no boundaries and can be expressed in a variety of different ways.

Olaya Bances Iglesias - Associate Technical Account Manager, SAMI Intern

Marine Galstyan - Product Marketing Manager, Photoshop Mobile, MBA Intern, Creative Cloud Product Marketing

Creativity thrives in everyone; it just requires a bit of openness to explore. As an amateur painter and photographer, I was amazed to discover that many business professionals at Adobe have well-developed creative talents once I started to share my hobbies.

We often hear about company culture, but Adobe has truly built something special where creativity meets innovation, and I have loved every minute being here.

Bing Han - Cyber Security Intern, TechGRC Assurance

My favorite part of the summer internship at Adobe has been working alongside the TechGRC team. It's been a great experience to dive deep into the world of compliance, where I've learned about the processes required to ensure that our services meet the security and compliance standard. I always knew compliance was crucial, but I hadn't fully considered all the hard work behind it, including conducting internal and external audits. Every day presents new challenges and learning opportunities, which makes my work both exciting and fulfilling.

I've learned how creativity can be seamlessly integrated into technology, allowing for more dynamic and impactful solutions. The environment here is so welcoming and supportive. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing team and company and I'm excited to continue contributing and growing with everyone here.

Taj Smith - Cybersecurity Intern, Enterprise

Angela Yang - Experience Design Intern, Monetization

My team has been beyond supportive on teaching me the ropes of the landscape of my work and giving me real-world projects that I contribute to for future initiatives.

I believe that everyone can be creative. Adobe has offered the tools and assistance for anyone to try their products and learn something new about themselves. With more AI research, the process will only be easier for those who thought that they could never be creative.

Calvin-Caleb Amiolemen - Cyber Security Intern, Cloud Security Research

Miriam Mariel Lopez-Jorgensen - Adobe Sales Academy, BDR Intern

The people here are incredibly supportive and always willing to help. They teach you, guide you, and make you feel genuinely welcome. I've never felt like just an intern.

Adobe deeply cares about every aspect of your well-being: They consider your mental, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs and provide resources to support them.

Everyday there is always something new to learn and share. The opportunity of being hands-on and part of a real-life project as an intern has been a highlight, where everybody can contribute in a creative way.
