David Schwarz, Founder and Creative Partner of Brooklyn-based design studio HUSH, joins Adobe for a lively discussion on the intersection of design, psychological behaviors, and massive spaces. Together, we’ll explore the digital aspects of mega-experiences—examining how sound, light, movement, scale, information hierarchy, and technology shape environments like airports and mixed-use developments.

Speaker BIO

David is an award-winning creative leader and a founding partner of HUSH, a design agency. He's spent nearly 20 years designing brand experiences that integrate spatial design and sustainable materials, creative technology, interactivity and data. These meticulously designed experiences - brand spaces, commercial architecture, corporate exhibition spaces, public and cultural environments - are three-dimensional expressions of an organization’s culture, products, and its highest-order messages.

David has led C-suite presentations and workshops with complex stakeholders, and driven the strategy and creative direction for clients across real estate, mobility, technology, sport, luxury, and entertainment, including Equinox, Uber, Nike, Google, Goldman Sachs, and Mastercard. In addition, he frequently shares his point of view across media outlets such as Forbes, Fast Company, Communication Arts, Dezeen, among others, and at events and podcast for the AGIA, SXSW, Cannes Lions, FITC, among others. David is also a mentor at New Inc., the New Museum's incubator program, where he's worked with incredibly talented start-up creative businesses poised to change the world.
