Mauricio Abril was an artistic individual in his youth, but changed direction because he didn’t feel like it would remain sustainable. He pursued molecular biology with an end goal of becoming a researcher. He began to doubt his current path and re-assessed what he truly wanted for himself, which led his back to his artistic roots. He went to art school and now has a job working as a concept artist for Disney.

“I think it’s very natural to feel like you don’t want to lose time, but I knew I would have more regrets if I was 10 years older and had never tried. As long as you do things with intent, you are never wasting your time.”
