And I just then tried to follow that path through and it landed me in art school, which was obviously the best thing I ever did because that then sealed the fact that I was going to do design in some form.

I loved that and going from doing a mixture of science and English and psychology and

go into art school where it was just pure design and doing different types of design every day I just felt like I belonged basically and it was amazing beautiful way to put it like when you belong because you can't manufacture that feeling that just has to be

I think it was maybe a bit of both.

It was definitely a point of interest.

I think it was my dad that got me into playing the PlayStation.

He definitely brought it into the house and got me into it.

And I think, again, with the films, my mum's not really a film buff, whereas my dad still loves films.

And if I talk to anything, it's normally about what films he's watching now.

I think he definitely had a massive impact on that early part of my childhood.

But then I don't think I've ever really spoke about this.

My parents split up when I was...

15, I think, which was quite a pivotal age because I think I was going into GCSE or I was in GCSE.

And I definitely remember after and during that period spending a lot of time watching TV and watching series.

I think I watched 24 with Jack Bauer, which was well above my age at the time and understanding.

But I remember sitting and watching that as, I guess, as a hideaway, as something to distract me.

So

That probably had a bit of an impact as well, but I did watch a lot of TV and play a lot of video games before the parents split.

I probably just relaxed into that more after that happened.

Do you remember any of the movies that your dad showed you that inspired you in a way of storytelling?
