However, I don’t have a formal art education, just a one-year crash course. I've spent many years in academia, which resulted in a masters degree in Japanese Studies (and a never-ending love for the land of the rising sun). My journey has been anything but straight forward. I dabbled with 3D and sketching, and decided to follow my passion into designing and creating worlds for the movie industry. My beginnings lie in graphic and web design during the dotcom boom and after. I’ve been working in the design industry for close to 20 years and as a concept designer in the movie and video game industry for about 10 years.
How long have you been working in the design industry, Jan?
