We’re thrilled to celebrate Alexis Paul from Edmond Santa Fe for qualifying this spring as one of only 50 students nationwide selected to compete at the Adobe Certified Professional U.S. National Championship!

Alexis earned her spot through a two-step process—first, by passing the rigorous Adobe Illustrator Certification Exam, and then by submitting original, standout creative work that impressed the judges. Her dedication, talent, and drive have set her apart as one of the best in the country.

This June, Alexis will head to Dallas, Texas, to compete in the national finals. There, she’ll apply her skills in a real-world challenge—designing for a non-profit organization under a tight deadline. It’s not just about creativity; it’s about communication, problem-solving, and delivering meaningful results—skills that reflect what it’s really like to work in the design industry.

In addition to the competition, Alexis will participate in professional development sessions and network with top student creatives from across the U.S., gaining valuable experience and industry insight.

We’re incredibly proud of Alexis and can’t wait to see the amazing things she’ll accomplish next. Good luck in Dallas, Alexis—you’ve already made us proud!
