Mmegi: Who is Monkgogi Samson?
Samson: I am a simple guy who grew up in Palapye and completed my secondary school at Lotsane Senior Secondary School. I then went to Cape Town, South Africa, for my Metric at the Abbotts College before pursuing my Degree in Graphic Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I graduated from the university in 2007.
Mmegi: What motivated you to go into the field of design?
Samson: Well I have always been good at drawing. I have always had a way with visual design even before I knew that such a thing as graphic design existed. It was only when I was in South Africa that I realised that I could do graphic design as a discipline. I took some creative courses at Abbotts College where I was advised by some of my lecturers to take the graphic design route. I was very lucky to have been admitted at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology because its design school is one of the best in South Africa.
