Samartha Vashishtha

Samartha’s work as the "Chief Content Wrangler" for all of Adobe’s Digital Imaging products, including Photoshop, has been exemplary. He always goes out of his way to make connections with individual developers to deeply understand the features he's documenting. He's not afraid of working directly with customers. Always looking to improve the customer experience through efficient content strategy, he posts early drafts of content for prerelease customers - to both gather early feedback to roll into the final documentation and ensure success for customers testing the product.

Without the exceptional work he and his team do, our customers could not be as successful in learning new features and workflows . He has been instrumental in bringing order to chaos, using his technical acumen and pragmatic documentation presence. He consistently asks critically important questions, keeps us focused on top priority goals and is the voice of the customer.

Samartha is really smart and really engaged with the apps he supports. He manages multiple projects effortlessly and responds immediately to requests and customer concerns. He has handled a wide variety of products with ease and great commitment. What impresses me most are his avid curiosity and his unflinching quest for quality.

Samartha is genuine and exceptional... He makes it easy to work with him with his warm personality. Despite the time-zone difference he is available for phone calls - which he prefers so he can be sure he has all the details in a quick turnaround. Samartha is also innovative; he is always thinking of ways to better serve our customers... He was the first in the Content team to use analytics to figure out what areas need attention. He also used analytics to help the product teams understand where the customer is struggling so we can make a better product. Always going above and beyond.
