As a result, he grew up with not only an inextricable connection with art crafting and creative design, him playing and freely experimenting with the tools in his father's workshop cultivated creative ideas in his mind. During that particular time of higher education endeavor, he had already been commissioned to do design pieces for hotels and business establishments.
