Introduction
It has been quite a journey, one that has seen dreams transform into reality, fueled by a passion for pixel art, graphic design, and UX/UI product design. Simbrix has been the vessel for this extraordinary adventure, and it is now time to share the story of its evolution, the remarkable people who made it possible, and the profound impact it has had on the creative world.
The Beginning of a Dream
Simbrix began as a dream deeply rooted in the world of pixel art and creative play for children. My fascination with pixel art, nurtured by childhood experiences with games like Mario, FF7, Golden Axe, and many others, evolved into a lifelong passion. This passion ultimately led to the creation of Simbrix, a unique social enterprise designed not only to fulfill my creative desires but also to make a tangible impact within its own ecosystem.
A Journey of Collaboration
Success was not a solitary endeavor; it was achieved through the hard work and dedication of an incredible team. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of talented individuals from around the world. Their contributions have been invaluable in bringing the Simbrix experience to life. Together, we embarked on an adventure, pushing the boundaries of pixel art in the world of toys.
Fostering Creative Careers
One of the most rewarding aspects of the Simbrix journey has been our commitment to nurturing creative minds, both from universities across the globe and close to home. We’ve had the opportunity to work with and provide valuable work experience to individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them launch exciting careers in the creative field. It has been a fulfilling mission to empower the next generation of designers and artists.
The Power of Partnership
Simbrix’s reach extended far beyond my initial expectations, thanks in large part to Character Options Limited. Their involvement in licensing Simbrix transformed it into an international brand, complete with comprehensive press coverage, robust marketing support, and a dedicated team committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation. This partnership expanded Simbrix’s horizons and increased its impact worldwide.
A Mentor’s Influence
Amidst this whirlwind of growth and creativity, one individual stands out – Assim Ishaque. His unwavering dedication and mentorship have been instrumental in my growth as a designer. From my apprenticeship in March 2016 to the present day, Assim’s support has profoundly impacted my development. Together, we’ve taken on numerous roles, from overseeing packing operations to managing our online presence. We’ve truly exemplified the concept of “Men of many talents.”
Conclusion
The Simbrix journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From a childhood passion for pixel art to the creation of a thriving social enterprise, it has been a fulfilling adventure marked by collaboration, creativity, and the empowerment of future designers. As we move forward, our commitment to innovation and artistic expression remains unwavering. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey in pixel art, graphic design, UX/UI innovation, and more.
