TikTok has helped him make his name and he feels that the platform is more inspiring than its rivals.
"TikTok brings a lot of fun into my life and I really enjoy creating content for it and enjoying other people's. Before this, I think Instagram and other platforms weren't as fun," he said.
Having originally studied graphic design, he has transitioned from a logo and lettering designer to an artist who focuses on calligraphy and painting.
It has proved immensely popular with big name brands knocking on his door for him to paint their designs.
