Definitely possible. 2 Examples: 1. Miche Capone - one of the founders of Photovoo and a mentor at 500 startups. I've worked with him before, fantastic designer. Got a CS degree, never officially trained in design. 2. Jason Putorti - Check out his linkedin profile. He got a Bachelors in CS and Math. I don't think it's easy, but like anything else, if you practice enough you will get better. (Note: I don't know Jason but his profile is public so I figured it's ok to link to.)
