It all came much quicker than I anticipated. It’s super exciting! I was 17 when I did my first branded project with Fanta. I’m super grateful to have to build a community of almost 3M people there! What has it been like to garner the attention of brands like Porsche, Converse, and Samsung at such a young age? Tell us about your experience working with such prominent entities and what sort of challenges or triumphs you encountered while working with them. If I could get their attention on YouTube I could show them the progress behind the artwork for 10 minutes instead of 2 seconds! I’ve also always looked up to a lot of YouTubers and I have a passion for filmmaking, so YouTube came pretty natural to me. It didn’t make sense to me that I would spend hours and hours on an artwork only for people to scroll by it for 2 seconds on Instagram. Once my Instagram got around 25k followers, I also started a YouTube channel. (Even though I probably will never ‘create the perfect artwork’, the pursuit is the most exciting part).
For the last couple of years, it’s been my goal to just perfect my doodle style, I have a vision of how I want the perfect artwork to look and I try to get closer to that step-by-step. People have been able to follow my journey and see me grow my artistic craft and career over the years. This way I would progress my skills in a rapid way, and I’d also post it daily on Instagram which in turn grew me an audience. But when I started taking my craft more seriously I promised myself to finish 1 drawing a day. 🙂 Before I was 16 I’d draw sporadically, there would be days or weeks between drawings. I detested coloring in my drawings back then, that has fully changed now haha. It just started as quick black & white drawings on the side of notebooks. I came up with the doodle style you still see today, but it looked way different back then. I’ve made art my whole life but started taking it more seriously when I turned 16. Can you tell us about the evolution of your aesthetic over the years since you first started honing in on your craft? Your style is vibrantly teeming with thrill and wonder. At such a young age of 22, your work has certainly blossomed and thrived in the world of art.
