We were lucky to catch up with Hayder Ghadhban recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hayder, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump back to the first dollar you earned as a creative? What can you share with us about how it happened?
In 2008 I soon to be graduated as an Electrical \ Electronics Engineer. During this time the institute of electrical and electronics engineering “IEEE” made a famous competition among 3 top Universities, one being the University of New York. The challenge was for the best art design for the IEEE of 20th anniversary. I won that compaction among thousands. After the winnings, a man came to me asking to create a Japanese-style restaurant starting from blank. I went back home with a pencil and paper to start sketching. 3 days’ time had passed while working a minimum of 12 hours straight each day. With excitement and full of espresso, I then added my natural touch of beautiful lighting design. I couldn’t wait to see my final work of art. I began watching classic Japanese movies to create the traditional touches. My work represented a hand-crafted traditional-style restaurant and my famous LED lighting conceptions. My first dollar was made and so was a memory I will keep for a lifetime.
You can see the concept and 3D design down below:
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As a young designer, I was attracted to lighting design, classical symphonies, and beautifully hand-painted oil portraits. I started by growing my career in creating LED lighting design. While I love this concept of design, I wanted to use my free time to comfort my true passions. Taking out my brushes to start a new oil painting and never without the company of Beethoven on repeat. My calm nature made me good at small details. Growing up my mom always told me I have the fingertips of a patient creator.
So, I guess she was right.
I wanted to share my favorite oil painting of my wife and our daughter.
This is the most loving piece I have created.
Now, I am currently accepting orders for these listed below.
• Oil painting.

• Photoshop.
