We all know there are several ways to achieve success as a creative, but sometimes it takes inspiration from others to set you on the right path. That’s definitely the case with the multitalented TTK. His work as an art director, painter, designer and illustrator have taken him far, and now he can add another title to his roster — filmmaker!

Our conversation began with a quick year-end check-in, and then TTK talked about “Just Like Me”, a short documentary he created with Havas to educate and inspire the next generation of Black creatives. TTK also shared more details of his life story, including growing up in Florida, serving in the Navy for 10 years after going to art school, and more. Hopefully TTK’s story and documentary can help inspire you to rise to greater heights!

My Journey w/ Tech

As my first real internship in the tech sector comes to a close, I can honestly say that I leave feeling very confident in my abilities to land a career in the technology field and dare I say it...open my own startup! I have learned quite a lot in terms of what it takes to run a business and handle your own responsibilities at the same time. This especially holds true for a startup where everyone pretty much doesn't have a job title that is set in stone as everyone helps out each other due to the small form factor. From dealing directly with the customers and technical support to graphic design, to quality assurance to even suggesting new features; I had a chance to try it all. This was a truly worthwhile and fulfilling experience and I am glad I was afforded the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing and supportive group of individuals, each of us striving towards our goals.
