Studying Graphic Design at Brunel University, the lessons he learnt during his three year tenure are key to his current success. It was at Brunel that Shahzad began experimenting with different types of multimedia and methods of drawing, often starting with a rough, hand-drawn sketch and seeing what could be developed. After graduation the development of Shahzad’s unique visual style began in earnest. 2007 saw the first t-shirt designed under the name 2d’s Place begin production and the fledgling designer’s initial steps into the fashion industry and he has now shown his collection at LFW and it is being sold on ASOS.
