Jamal Smith started his career in web/graphic design when he segued from customer service positions that were not taking him anywhere, and realized he needed to start a career. The story he would always tell people when asked how you got into web design is as follows; Jamal Smith was trying to have a web site built for a small business idea he had. After receiving quotes for a basic website that were ridiculously high, he began working on his own site. After sitting up countless nights, and working on the start-up site, he made the decision to go to night school while he worked. From that point on he worked to get to his name on countless web sites.

Jamal attended Katharine Gibbs NY to receive an associate's degree in computer science graduating in 2004. In 2003, Jamal landed a job working for PTI of America, based in Roslyn, NY, working as a graphic/web designer. He worked his way through school, while still trying to build a career for himself. Working for PTI of America, gave Jamal the opportunity to meet people from different industries and continue building his networking and designing skills. In 2004 after gaining a supportive clientele base, Jamal started his own company, Bleu Print Graphix Inc., based in Long Island, NY.

Jamal began working with people in the beauty industry; walking along side Vera Moore from Vera Moore Cosmetics; revamping the company's website, and graphic material, Jamal formed a loving relationship with the Moore family. Vera Moore introduced Jamal to numerous clients, bringing him to social events to meet new clients.
