Ve Dewey is a designer by trade but instinctually a connector. She sees opportunities others do not by thinking beyond the bleeding edge. For over 12 years, Ve has applied this mindset whilst working with major brands like Mattel, Adobe, WPP, and BBC. She possesses a design-intrapreneur mindset which allows her to easily navigate between verticals and industries. This is evident with her experience of curating and executing the inaugural creative HR role at Mattel, supporting 600+ creatives during the company’s cultural and digital transformation and of marketing at Adobe, where she solely established a new creative marketing program in Europe. Though she straddles corporate and creative, overall, Ve cares most about finding connections to solve problems that allow communities and organisations to successfully evolve. Currently, Ve is an MBA candidate at Central Saint Martins with a focus on Design Leadership, co-creator of Never Not Creative, and the founder of The RSA's Decolonising Design Coalition.

- Unleashing Creativity for a Common Good: The BBC X Adobe Creative JamEvery Adobe Creative Jam is made up of three primary ingredients: the host company, a team of creatives from the larger community, and a design challenge. The design challenge at hand for this team effort: to animate the Wac Arts logo in a way that brought the five values of the organisation — equality, empowerment, innovation, excellence, and love — to life. The BBC recruited students from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and Middlesex University to work with them on this commun
