After high school in 1989, Mandumbwa went to [[Lusaka]] to take up a job as a Graphic Designer (though he was not formally trained). Later after a chance meeting with a chief designer of the [[Zambia Information Services]] (ZANIS) on a bus, he was offered a job in the department where he designed government information posters. He, however, did not stay long in the civil service. His desire to be involved with more challenging creative work saw him walk into an advertising agency (Fleet Foot Advertising Agency) who hired on the spot as a trainee graphic designer. | After high school in 1989, Mandumbwa went to [[Lusaka]] to take up a job as a Graphic Designer (though he was not formally trained).
