I never had any professional training in art and design. Instead, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I think i am really into art and design and trying to make a living at it even though I could get myself an engineering job much easier.
After graduated, together with a friend, I did some hand silk screened t-shirts for sale. Everything started from zero and it was just some sort of hobby stuff and we didn’t do this for long until I found out some online t-shirt design contests and started to take part. It was my first win at Threadless.com that brought up the thought of making a living from drawing and taking this into serious consideration. This might be the first time I wanted to get into the career of an artist/ designer.
