Farhan's passion for art started way back when he was just a kid. While other kids were playing outside, he was holed up in his room, tinkering with software on his computer. When he was 11, he downloaded a pirated copy of Adobe Photoshop and started sinking so many hours on those "GFX" forums, and trying to find the best 'sig tutorials' to learn from back in the late 2000s era.


Fast forward a few years, Farhan decided to attend design school to pursue his love for art and design. Since then, he has had the opportunity to work with some big-name brands like Google, Samsung, UOB, and Re-foods. He has got his hands dirty in different mediums, including print, digital, and social media, and is always pushing himself to explore new creative approaches.


One thing that he loves about this industry is that it's always changing, so he's constantly reading up on the latest trends and technologies. He's a bit of a tech geek and nerd at heart, and his secret weapon for staying up-to-date is Twitter. The algorithm is his best friend.
