Q: What was your art school experience like? Did your school have a good design program?

A: I think my experience was good, I was left to discover who I am as a designer/illustrator, the tutors set the work and were there to help you but there was a lot of self motivated study, research and development, and I think its what’s instilled my work ethic in me now, as I’m constantly working, developing and trying new things.
