Matt Carlson

Matthew Carlson is the Director of Product Design for Aqua by Adobe. He spends his days designing creative tools and inspiring activities for kids, and his nights (and early mornings) illustrating children's books and fantasy role-playing games. His children’s book Talking Rocks & Minerals—designed and drawn entirely in Adobe Fresco – launched in 2025, and he's currently illustrating a book about space. He's passionate about creating experiences that help kids, teachers, and parents explore art, tell stories, and unlock their creative potential.
