Adam did a Bachelor of Commerce degree in accounting, and as he worked in that space, he noticed that so many of the problems people faced were technical or administrative and not dealing with the human aspect of the industry.
Adam decided to pivot and did a master's degree in industrial design. He hopped into a design studio for a bit but hated the work before starting his own company doing web design.
