🎙️ Scott Belsky — From Adobe to A24: Designing the Future of Creativity and Storytelling

In this episode of The Human Unicorn, Nihal Mehta sit down with Scott Belsky, one of the defining minds at the intersection of technology, design, and culture.

Scott is the founder of Behance, which was acquired by Adobe in 2012. After a stint at Benchmark Capital, he returned to Adobe as Chief Product Officer (2017–2022) and later served as Chief Strategy Officer and EVP of Design & Emerging Products, playing a pivotal role in launching Creative Cloud and Adobe Firefly.

As of January 2025, Scott has taken on a new role as Partner and Head of Technology & Innovation at A24, where he leads A24 Labs, a stealth initiative focused on reimagining tools for storytellers and creators in film and entertainment.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How Scott helped scale Adobe’s creative suite into an AI-forward platform
• What A24 Labs is doing to reshape the intersection of cinema and technology
• Lessons from backing generational companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, and Warby Parker
• His philosophy on building products that serve creators first

Scott doesn’t just build products — he builds ecosystems that empower creatives to lead industries. This episode is a rare look inside the mind of someone shaping the tools and the taste of our generation.

🦄 For founders, filmmakers, and anyone obsessed with building creative futures — this one’s unmissable.
