I started my career when i was in my my college. Being in a non- design college, and trying to learn design was a big challenge for me. I tried to connect with multiple senior designers and tried to learn design from there, and also done couple of courses. After years of practise I landed my job in a great team and then I moved up in my career. Therefore, I decided, to help people, who want to learn about design but are getting overwhelmed from the resources online. I want to help people around: - How to get started in design - How to create portfolio - Review portfolio - How to be creative while managing work - Landing design jobs and internships - Help them to decide on what to Up skill in design
