Dara always had a passion for art, but it wasn’t until his dad passed away that he realized he wants to continue to build his father’s legacy as well as his own. After dropping out of art school, he worked his way up for Microsoft and in the gaming industry, but kept building his portfolio on the side. He talks about the support that artists can find in the creative community, and the value of not giving up because you never know where a job will take you or who you’ll meet. His philosophy to stay true to himself and not get caught up in the hype once success starts manifesting itself has landed him work with The Weeknd and Lil Dicky, among others.
