When making becomes faster, what really defines creativity? This panel explores the deeper impact of AI on imagination, taste, authorship, and creative identity, and asks what role humans play in a more fluid, accelerated creative landscape. A conversation about thinking, not just producing.

Kladi Vergine

Adobe Sr. Design Evangelist & Community Advocate

Kladi is an award-winning designer, visual strategist, author, and Senior Design Evangelist & Community Advocate at Adobe. —But really, she just loves helping creatives do what they do best. Whether it’s sharing design tips, career advice, industry insights, or cool workflow hacks, Kladi’s all about making creativity easier and more fun. She’s taught design at Adobe MAX, Adobe Live, Creative PRO WEEK, and even the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. (yep, politicians need good graphics too!) since 2016. Her self-published book Plant Therapy won the Fedrigoni TOP Designer Award, and she’s also snagged wins at Adobe’s Creative Jam and Infohackit. When she’s not designing or teaching, you’ll find her hosting "Creative Connection Live" on Instagram, where the creative community hangs out every week. She also creates courses for LinkedIn Learning, Creative Live, and Adobe, helping millions of people master Photoshop and Illustrator. Want to chat about design, creativity, or just say hi? Her DMs are always open @iamkladi!

Will MacNeil,

Director, Designer and Animator

A Creative Director with one foot in art, one in code, and one in storytelling - yes he has three feet. He bridges traditional visual design with things like real-time systems, data-driven generative art, interactive experiences and cinematic production. Will has worked across film, broadcast, experiential, fashion, sports, and cultural institutions — always with one goal: to push what’s possible creatively, and deliver work that isn’t just beautiful, but meaningful.

THEY ARE CREATIVE

Siobhán and James are creative directors who craft distinctively surreal commercial content through innovative combinations of traditional photography, green screen techniques, and AI-generated imagery and video. The duo behind They Are Creative have developed a signature "TAC coded" aesthetic - deadpan surrealism meets high-end production, creating visually arresting narratives that blur the line between reality and the wonderfully absurd. Beyond client work, they're passionate educators in the AI creative space, developing workshops and resources that help creators harness emerging tools while maintaining their artistic vision.
