Early Days in Design Gabriel's foray into design did not follow the classic playbook — there were no memorable childhood stories of incessant sketching or meticulous doodling in textbook margins. Instead, his first love was cinematography, a passion ignited through Spielbergian epics and intimate foreign language films. It wasn't until he stumbled across an outdated copy of After Effects during his teenage years that his love for the moving image began to assimilate. He instantly recognized the potential of this software—a bridge between cinematography and visual art. From that moment, his focus shifted entirely. Enrolling in a local design course at an early age, his insatiable appetite for learning could not be curbed. His mentors cite his relentless drive, comparing it to a marathon runner's persistence, refusing to halt even after passing the finish line. The youth was brimming with ideas. He saw motion graphics as a medium to blend cinema's emotional depth with graphic design's communicative efficiency. This led him to pursue a double degree in Film Studies and Visual Communication, a rare synthesis of his passions.
