How did your journey start as a founder? What was that thing that triggered that you start your own thing?

Early in 2016, we’d obtained a good experience in writing articles, blogging, and graphic designing, as it was almost a year running our blogs. We used to create animated featured images in Adobe illustrator to grab people’s attention on our blog 3nions. It was the month of January 2016.

An email was received from a guest contributor on our blog which changed our lives.

-“Excellent work mate ? designer did a great job. Do you guys take external design work? Like creating graphics, images, banners, etc etc..”

We’d never imagined that someday we will get paid for graphic designing work, the work which we used to do to make our blog look good.

It all begins on Adobe illustrator ?That’s why we named it illustrake.

Mihir Gadhvi from illustrake

Did you work anywhere in the company or institution before starting your own thing? How was the experience of working there?

Nope, we start it after our blog 3nions.com. We have not worked with anyone before

 

So without wasting much time, let us know about your dream and how you are making it a reality as a startup?

After 3nions, illustrake was co-founded in mid-2016 out of a desire to solve problems through design. We cut our teeth working in the blogging industry before we started this company and it was like boot camp for running a business like this.

We learned about marketing analysis, SEO, brand development, creative personality types, tight deadlines, shoestring budgets, and DIY work ethics. We worked hard, encouraged teamwork, dedication, punctuality, passion and a constant hunger for creativity. In late 2016, Everyone was thinking outside-the-box. We noticed the box was empty and moved right in. Now we occupy the whole thing with ideas so practical that they push creative boundaries.

It just the start we want to be the best digital company in the world

How did you realize that you should start this thing? Was there a specific pain point you recognized?
