Always remember the Humble days.
Back in the early 2000s, I was working at a data entry position to help pay for College. Before my career in design began or even knew it existed, in between calls I would open up PAINT…yes….PAINT. Paint was an old drawing program built in every PC known during that time (For those too young to know). I would doodle around just to try and stay awake. Learning to draw with just a mouse was difficult but eventually I got the hand of it (thank god for pen tablets now!) I ended up creating a folder where I saved all my drawing and a coworker found it. We ended up having drawing competitions between me and him. At first I started out with small ideas that later became even crazier. Eventually the company I worked for got shut down and people got let go. I have forgotten about these because I thought these drawings were gone forever until my old coworker reached out through email and sent these over. He ended up saving our drawings but couldn’t reach me until he found me on instagram. Before I knew photoshop or any adobe programs….PAINT was my starting point. To think, my future was knocking way before I found out about Graphic Design/Motion Graphics.
