It was only in sort of probably 94 onwards we started to see that.

I was like, I can see exactly where this is going.

I was just watching the difference of someone doing manual output to supported with a technical output.

And the reason I actually came back initially was I was living in Turkey at the time and the first Gulf War broke out.

And I didn't even know it was on because I didn't follow media.

There was no social media.

There was no internet.

And so I actually had a knock at the door of the British consulate who were sort of gathering up any Kiwis they could and saying, off you go, get back home.

Things are heating up here.

And actually at the time, Izmir, which is a city within Turkey, was the US military base, not that far away from where I was living.

And I sort of came back reluctantly because I wasn't really done.

It wasn't actually back in 1990.

I sort of came back two or three times.

I wasn't quite done and left again and came back and trying to figure out where I fit in this world.

And then I met a man and then I stayed.

You know, that was sort of the normal story.

And so media design school was really an interesting time because it was where it was before the dot-com boom bust.

So e-commerce was starting to be a thing, website development, and, you know, CD-ROMs were at their heyday.

You know, everyone was doing multimedia.

Yeah, and, you know, it was changing, literally changing from zip disks and floppies.
