Jeremy Mura Interview Transcription

Ian Paget: Jeremy, I think we should go back to the beginning. I think it's always good to hear people's origin story. I think that's a good starting point for this. How did your journey into graphic design or logo design first begin?

Jeremy Mura: I think it all started when I was a little kid. My dad was into IT, so I was into computers, and my mom was very creative into art and music. When I was in high school I ended up choosing multimedia and, in that class, I actually got to use Photoshop for the first time. And so, my love for art and computers was combined, and I fell in love with Photoshop, and I think that was all the way back in 2009 or 2010 when I was still in school. So yeah that's when I sort of got into design, and then I graduated in 2011 and I went to university, and my first two years I actually failed. I tried to get into a prestigious university called University of Sydney. I'm in the city in Australia which is pretty cool. But that part of my life I wasn't really focused, and I was lazy, and partying and stuff.
