I liked art, I liked logos, I took a Photoshop class and it grew from there. Then I went to school for it.

Was good at art growing up
Studied with the aim of doing architecture at uni (maths, physics etc)
Decided a 7 year degree may be too long
Went to art school, thought about fine art, paintingFell in love with design when I realised that fine art at my uni was mainly about self obsessive, conceptual crap. Design seemed much more useful, and was about solving problems for others, rather than navel-gazing. It was a nice mix of logic and creativity. I naturally gravitated toward typography as it was slightly more tech-y and rules-based. I devoured stuff like Robert Bringhurst, Jan Tschichold etc
My career since then has been about learning to loosen up and trying to see everything as part of a bigger experience. Not just design for design's sake

I wanted to do the cool looking pages on skateboarding magazines, and I will make my own logos for everything since I was a kid
