In 2016, I launched a program to help the next generation of creatives find their voice. My path to creative success was not an easy one. I was hoping that by sharing my story, knowledge, and experience with others, they would be inspired to pursue their dreams as well. I never imagined the program would have such a profound effect. What started out as a way to reach future car designers turned into mentoring a broad range of creatives in multiple disciplines. The program is made up of a YouTube channel offering free tutorials, courses on the Udemy platform, and a “Tailored Course” program for those looking for personal guidance.

Each student who has wanted to attend a major art college has gotten in. The majority of my students have gotten a full or partial scholarship to a top school like Art Center and College for Creative Studies in the U.S., The Royal College of Art and Coventry University in the U.K., and the National Institute of Design in India. They are thriving. Moreover, I have worked with many professionals from graphic and content designers to yacht designers to spacecraft designers to strengthen their skills, gain confidence, and move forward in their careers. I set out to hopefully inspire them. They have wound up inspiring me.
