What made me think design is crazy

Okay...so it was my 2nd year of college when I joined vikasana the research and development team of my university...

Well vikasana was like my dream destination... because it contained people of high potential and i was barely surpassing any of those capabilities like just hanging out the cliff.. joined and barely surviving...that type of intelligence and kindness was present in this group vikasana....one of the reasons for me loving vikasana even now...had a good bunch of seniors and made my journey in vikasana awesome...

So now at this point I barely knew about design what it is... thought it's some lowky or let's say some feild like other feilds...

Until I was assigned to one project and there is where I heard the term ..figma.. made me more curious like what the hell is this figma...me in utter state if confusion and a lost state of mind...me started exploring the figma website... bruhh that website looked soo...complex like what what is happening....I have no clue....

Then me who was in devolopment field ..as a second year...my greatest achievement being doing a login page in react(so you should understand how edge of the cliff I was surviving) 😂😂 decided let's check this design...and then after my final exams Me and my friend was fixated to learn new skills in summer term..where I decided to learn ui/ux design,fullstack devolopment and cybersecurity... amongst these I started off with design and a little bit of fullstack... didn't take them soo serious until this linkedin posts supremacy got to my nerves and made me feel sooooo low sooo useless....and thus with full fire 🔥 in my  eyes ,mind everywhere I finished the course and did my first project..

Which was a simple recipe finder app.

Trust me all your first projects will be bad and was also mine  because you just started....but me trying to learn the fundamentals and implementation was fun seeing so many layers,so many frames ...the prototypes linked complexity rose my adreline  levels and made me think shall we continue as a ui ux designer?..okay that was just a thought left hanging... until one of my friend/school mate was in search of ui/ux designers ...well I grabbed the chance and made my first mile stone in designing... making an app design and suggesting fellow mates about design suggestions also learnt tonns about designing through my co-intern who actually studies in design school...that stuff is crazy u know...

And thus earned my first internship and stipend and a massive experience as a ui ux designer...which gave me the full confidence to achieve greatness in this field 

So completed the internship in 2024 Jan to march and this bought me a recognition in vikasana... moved a bit to the safer zone of the cliff is what I thought...the team valued me and made me a core member..(happy moments✨🎉😀) 

Then the talk of redesigning the website came...and then met one awesome designer who was my senior(Harsha )and was the designer in vikasana....and my team leads introduced me to them and his design...so as i started to design the website...harsha lietrally started to revamp my design totally 😂 I was like wow that's more beautiful than mine...a moment of me  feeling weak but still continuing to design and learn from him...and yea that version of vikasana redesign was just 95% his design and only one page was approved 😂(I was like yea atleast thy left me with one page 😂) that feeling is not easy to express 

..this moment of feeling weak and strong at the same time hits you different and my environment at vikasana gave me that...it was almost like im the best in my class which lietrally curbed my room for growth and yea vikasana gave me the room.. saying sky is the limit!!

And yea that project implementation was stopped in half due to foreseen circumstances 

And then later in my final year 

There was this one guy who initiated redesigning the website and took me in for the job...

Ok now before that I became like a core member in vikasana (called workshop lead but also the designer 

.. only ui designer for vikasana)

Until I meet another junior 😂😂 designer who lietrally runs a startup....he was designer... like in product company... and I was specifically ui ux designer....so I teamup with him made layout and the design... this was my love project ✨... cause I used to stay back in clg and have fun and also get the work done and yes I did complete it ...just he should give touch up to that...

One of the projects proposed when I joined..was construction site... like I had done a detailed wireframe design and I found it when I was cleaning my  place and then I insisted to devolop this as well...and this one project came out soo pretty 😍...like I love my own work...and thats how my journey as designer is going on...just love the job and the value people in vikasana gives me and me improving over every design makes me happy...

I definitely plan on freelancing as a designer... because it makes me happy when ever I design 

Who knew being a designer is not only about unlimited changes in design but also a satisfaction that "yes iam the one giving the foundation for their idea and the confidence that we can develop this idea in ease "that confidence is what makes me go moving and I love that...

Few works as a workshop lead...me teaching react
