Ferreira began his professional journey with a degree from the JJ School of Art and a tailoring course at Sheroo Coopers Academy of Tailoring. Obviously, tailoring was not something Indian boys from upper class families studied so Ferreira ended up being the only male in a class of 20 giggling girls. Soon Ferreira started his journey through the full list of design houses and companies, growing creatively at every step.
