I were born in a design background family. During my early stage in life, I had notice that education is never been easy for me as a low grade student in school. When it comes to Art and Design, i were considered by others that i am gifted in it. That is when I chosen this path at the age of 15, to carry on this dream to become a successful designer.

The cons is when you create something relates to the past, they will feel that you are outdated and not improving like others.
