Matteo Curcio
Ciao! I'm Matteo, a post-production specialist with a knack for creative storytelling. From Milan's bustling streets to Melbourne's vibrant scene, I've been weaving tales across the globe.Through the years, I've delved deep into the Adobe universe, mastering its tools and techniques. I know firsthand how daunting it can be to navigate the Creative Cloud, but fear not—I'm here to make it all a breeze!
Passionate about design and all things creative, I could talk your ear off about it for hours. When I'm not diving into the world of pixels and vectors, you'll find me exploring new ways to bring stories to life with emerging technologies like VR, AR, and Generative AI. So let's dive in together and unleash our creativity!

Thea Francisco
I’m a creative problem solver, building up strange worlds and crafting meaningful connections as a game designer. I aspire to be a jack of all trades and have worked on urban play experiences for Melbourne Design Week, volunteered on an animated short film that world premiered at MQFF22, and in publicity with the RMIT Cinematic Collective. Becoming an Adobe Coach enables me to weave together my biggest passions: design and bringing people’s ideas to life. I’m currently a final year Game Design student, but ironically, I am a horrible gamer. I’m working on that too.
