I decided this isn't right for me.
I'm going to pay more attention to who I am.
So I went over to the art department and I'd heard of this
thing called graphic design. Actually, I I was some form of
commercial art, you know, that I didn't really know a lot about,
but knew that that's what people did.
Wandered into the art building and opened the door and
immediately this is at San Jose State University and was
immediately presented with this display cabinet full of
industrial design work, sketches and models and renderings.
And you know, I just, I don't know how long it stood there.
It was probably a long time looking at all this and thought,
OK, this makes perfect sense, right?
Because I, I love art. I love building things.
I spend more time in the garage working on my bike than anything
else, you know, so this is what I want to do.
Went over and changed my major pissed my father off, right?
He he thought he didn't think much of designers, classic
engineering sort of viewpoint that, you know, basically in his
world, industrial designers made his job more difficult.
And you know, he made this comment to me.
I'll never forget it was well, they're the guys that specify
the paint and it usually peels off, is what he said.
