Hey everyone. This is your host Shakthi Hari. There are things that I wish I knew when I started out as a designer like how to price your works, how to create your portfolio, how to prepare for design interviews, how to manage your time, how to design for B2C organizations, etc. Let's talk. Let's exchange ideas. Stay connected to hear everything in and out about all domains of design from the experts themselves. And sometimes, I'd just share the learnings from my own experiences. I believe that by doing so, the Design Convo will inspire you to create. Do subscribe and stay tuned!

Saptarshi Prakash: Director of Design, Swiggy | Part 1

Hey folks. Join me in conversating with Saptarshi Prakash, the Director of Design at Swiggy - India's leading online food ordering and delivery app. In part 1 of this episode, we talk about topics varying from transitioning from an IC to a manager, building and nurturing a team, to becoming a content creator. And this is definitely not a UI/UX discussion for I am not a product designer. This was a fun discussion with a lot of takeaways for me. And stay tuned for part 2 of this episode.
