When did this all start then?
"Since as long as I remember I've always been drawing and designing things. As a kid I would create games where I invented products and designed supermarkets, town plans, houses, and all sorts. I don't know where it comes from but the desire to create and invent burns strong. When it came to choosing courses at GCSE and A-Level Art (High School diploma equivalent) was the solid choice and this was reflected in my A-Level grade. After this I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in Art and Design."
Why create?
Creating something new and fresh is addictive, especially when you're pleased with the result. And there's a sense of wanting to compete, produce more visually interesting work. Its almost a case of "look what I can do" or even "I didn't know I could do that". I think the desire to create is within each of us.
