I’ve been doodling ever since I was 13. It started as an escape from boring classes in high school and grew to become a part of my daily thinking process. For example, when I have too much work to think about, I organise my thoughts by doodling. One day I’ll feel like drawing swirly objects, the next, I’ll do geometric shapes. I also think it depends on my mood; when I’m calm, there’s usually a flow in my design, however when I’m agitated or at the edge, I draw sharp edges and points.
