First ever design related job was as a trainee draughtsman at a patent office. I only lasted about three months and had to be let go because my technical drawings weren't tidy enough. It was all .18mm rotring line and radius work on gateway trace. I was 15 and I just couldn't complete a drawing without making a smudge or getting something wrong. It was torture.

Worked for a now defunct Vancouver agency. My first project was packaging for a product called "The Foiler", a car immobiliser. I wish I had kept an example of it. Super cheesy.
