The path here
Pencil to Photoshop to Figma to code. Nineteen years of practice compressed into the moments that mattered.
Started drawing by hand as a kid. Margins of textbooks, the back of every notebook, sketches stuffed into folders. Fifteen years before any of it touched a screen.

Enrolled in Class 11 and met C for the first time. Variables, loops, the satisfying click when a problem compiled. I took it seriously, but had no real guidance or mentor to push further - the spark was there, the support wasn't.

Opened Photoshop for the first time. The pencil-to-tablet jump took months - the muscle memory of pressure and stroke didn't translate cleanly. Got there eventually.

Joined Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College for B.Sc. Computer Science Honours. The seriousness about coding had always been there - from this point I finally got the bare minimum guidance and mentorship I needed to actually move forward.
