Life & Work with David Scott of North Carolina

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Scott.

Hi David, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
It’s really self explanatory about how I came along into my business I’ve been cleaning, restoring and customizing shoes for about 8 years now I cleaned, restored and customized my own just for a start then I learned more from YouTube as a platform to grow more knowledge in what I do, whether it’s learning new techniques or what proper products to use etc. but it’s made me who I am today as an artist

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
When you’re an artist there’s always going to be that balance between adult life and business I’ve never gave up on my craft I always strived to be the best and to keep going at it.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m what you like to call a shoe specialist sort of speak. I cleaned, restore and customize sneakers and I also like to do paintings in my spare time. I’m proud of the work I do in my profession I feel like any artist should be proud of their work whether people like it or not you have to accept criticism. What sets me apart from others is I like to come up with different ideas and think outside the box as an artist.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
If you got a dream chase it not for the fame not for the money but to show people you got what it takes to make it in this world.
