What I Learned from Adobe MAX 2025 (and the Tool That Keeps Me Creating)

Image
Hi friends,   I returned from Adobe MAX in Los Angeles , where over 10,000 creators, designers, and storytellers came together to explore what's next in AI and creativity. If you want to check out what I did every day of the week during Max, here are some of my reflections .    This year, I leave with one big reminder: the tools don't make the creator — but the right tools do make creativity faster, easier, and more fun.   As for me, one of the highlights wasn't just Adobe's latest updates — it was reconnecting with tools I use every week to bring my stories to life. In addition to Adobe many products I use on a regularly basis such as Adobe Express and Firefly, I've been a huge fan of Descript since 2018.   Descript is the all-in-one video and podcast editing app I trust for both Feisworld Media and client projects.   If you've ever wanted to create short social videos, edit interviews, or turn podcasts into YouTube-ready clips without jugglin...

Above is a photo taken yesterday at my family's favorite ice cream spot, Christopher's in Millbury MA. My mom painted a cute panda pair eating ice cream together and gifted a giclee print to the store owner. He was over the moon to receive it.      Hi friend,,   It's a beautiful Sunday here in Boston and Central Mass, finally.

Happy holidays! What a year it's been...

Image above was taken in front of Xiang Li Art's display window at Denholm's in Worcester located at 484 Main Street, Worcester, MA. Open to the public for one year until October 2025.    Dear friends and family,    Happy Holidays!    Where do I even begin? So much has happened in our lives this year.    Here's a quick roundup and some reflections I had recently.    After watching my mom Xiang Li working as as professional artist for 40 years, I finally decided to join force with her and elevate both of our brands (Feisworld x Xiang Li Art). As a result, we installed and exhibited in more than 10 places (a combination of museums, galleries, universities and community venues) in less than one year. Here's the list of previous and upcoming events . Really hope to see you there in 2025!    When my mom first started working on her Chinese Empresses collection 12 years ago, I decided to reach out to about a dozen curators and art educators in the Boston area...
