The Beginning

If you were hoping for a really interesting origin story, sadly I cannot deliver as Minecraft was the catalyst for my journey into design, programming and even photography. It sounds strange, I know — but it's true.

The first artifact I can find around my work and the 'MinimalArts' brand was from 2015, where I was designing my logo (aged around 12/13 at the time). I used to carry around this notebook with me everywhere at the time (no it wasn't a moleskin), usually jot down my ideas and thoughts into it — as well as disturbingly comical drawings of my siblings whenever I was annoyed with them.

At the time 'MinimalArts' was my brand for creating minecraft themed channel art and intros (sadly yes I was part of this trend), through which I ended up learning Cinema 4D (R12!), Creative Suite CS6 and some basic HTML/CSS, which started actually pre 2013.
