    Wierd how I got where I am now, and I think most peoples routes would be different to what you may think...

    I always new I wanted to do something creative, I loved art at school and went to study Art and Design when I left, I was dissilusioned with this though as the course was all "fine art" and no design, so I jacked it....

    Realising I didnt want to give up my chance of having a career in the creative industries I went to my other local college and was sold on doing Multimedia, which was all screen based shizzle, after four years of this me and a friend from college both ended up at this crappy, but somehow large agency in Manchester (www.influencedesign.com).

    I had to learn fast here as all the work was print, but I blagged it for a while and realised I loved the medium of print, and I learnt from my peers around me.

    After two years of being shit on by the dude who ownded this company me and my freind fromcollege decided to leave and go it alove, and so started www.feltgraphics.com)

    We have a real sense that we are doing this for the love now, were not bothered about getting rich and having huge clients, just enjoying being our own boss and critic, and doing work that we love, whatever the costs to our bank balance, personal lives and occasionally sanity!

    Wierd huh!
