Let me take you back, about 26 years!
 

I was just a kid, failing math, sitting in class completely checked out. But here's the thing, while everyone else was stressing about numbers, I was somewhere else entirely. Daydreaming about a place where all I did was draw.

Just draw. All day. Every day.

I had no idea that place actually existed.
 

When I found out Art School was a real thing, I couldn't believe it. And when I actually got into my Arts College, it felt like someone had finally opened the right door. The first two years I was just goofing around, figuring it out, finding my footing. But then something shifted. Years three, four, five, that's where it got real.

In 2004, I walked out with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Applied Arts as my specialisation. And the moment I did, I just knew. I wanted to design. No confusion, no "maybe", no "let me think about it". Just, yes. This is it.
 

Now the story gets longer from here. A lot longer. Mind you we're talking about a time when "design" basically meant one thing, Graphic Design. That was it. Those were your options.
 

If you want to know how it all unfolded from there, I'm happy to keep going.
