I started PTC as a fun side project on July 13th, 2012, but it quickly turned into much more than that! Actually, the idea for the Photoshop Training Channel was in my head since 2004, I was a college student at the time, and although I did not have the name in mind, I did have the idea of creating a website where people could learn Photoshop in an over-the-shoulder kind of way. Unfortunately, I never got around to it, I always left it for “tomorrow”, or for when “the time is right”. In early 2012  (8 years later!), I heard the author Timothy Ferris say in an interview something that really stuck in my head; “You are not guaranteed a tomorrow”. Once I heard that I realize that if I didn't do it then, I wasn't guaranteed a chance to do it in the future. That's when I decided to create my first tutorial and put it up on YouTube. In the beginning, PTC was just a YouTube channel, there was no website, no Facebook, or anything else. I was lucky enough that people reacted positively to my stuff from day 1 and my followers started to increase steadily. I decided to create a website and get on social media. My Facebook Page has been growing really fast, and I've been really surprised to see all the love I'm getting from TikTok.
