Honestly I don't know what got me into it. I was about 10 when I sat infront of a black and white screen for the first time, when computer mouses was beginning to be a commoditiy. At least where I lived.
I started clicking, pixel by pixel, to do drawings I could never do otherwise.Drawing by hands was something I never could. Later, of course, I went to college for design, graduated, worked years, but up to this date I can't draw nothing on paper excepts doodles.
Back to the black and white computers. Someone told me I had talent by then. Oddly, when different shades of blacks were introduced on computers someone told me that I was good with colors.
So I just kept going.I never had any intentions with graphic design. I just did it because I could. Probably because people encouraged me.
Now, years later, my proffessional intentions are to move into managing. I would like to say that it is something about me wanting to encouraging others to do what they do best. But that would partly be lying. Easing into managing feels like a natural step. And the reason I want to do it is to prepare for that ultimate dream that so many designers share: setting up something of their own.
