# Adobe *Adobe* is one of the largest monopolies of creative tools in the industry. As someone who was granted complete access to their tools through the benefits of university, with graduation past I find my skills suited to that of an adobe user and now as an a creative addict going through withdrawal. I want this theme of *development* to be an exploration of tools and systems better suited to giving power to the individual, potentially away from the likes of subscription services. [Noodle](https://youtu.be/PM8gVjybk-4?t=822) expresses just a sample of these frustration better than I ever could. This space will hopefully one day expand into the likes of understanding the best steps forward for both *personal and creative development* :) ## Research #### I.
