TEDxDubai 2010 Mo Abedin: New Beginnings

The trials, tribulations, and journey of being a young entrepreneur jumping in with both feet in pursuit of a dream.

Mohammed is half Emarati and half Thai, born and raised in Bangkok. Since he was little, he had been greatly impacted by the Far East and developed a great appreciation for Asia's colorful history and culture -- leading to a growing curiosity in the creative arts.

Growing up, his first influences were toys, cartoons, video games and comic books like any other child, but the hunger to create came shortly after.He then started drawing, and in an attempt to improve his talent, he started looking towards Comic Artists such as Joe Madureira and Humberto Ramos during his teens for inspiration and later ventured into creating comics and designer toys.
