My design journey began when I was 11 years old. At the time, I was addicted to an online multiplayer game called Club Penguin. I was a curious kid, and this led me to discovering a YouTube community of other young players that created content based on the game. This inspired me to join in and produce my own Club Penguin videos and graphics. I spent several years accumulating over 4,000 subscribers while practicing my marketing, video editing and graphic design skills. Without even realizing it, I had already found my passion and career path.

My childhood fantasy of "fame" was fulfilled—whenever I logged into the game, other users would recognize my penguin from my YouTube channel. As crazy as it sounds, other players would crowd my avatar, make fan channels and even post recordings of themselves spotting me. To this day, my Club Penguin career remains to be one of my fondest memories.
