Hi, I am shreya. I started digital product design 3 years ago. Currently, I am looking to work in collaboration with some like-minded people. If someone is interested in working on a project together then please leave a comment here.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Satish, currently working as a UI/UX and graphic designer. My journey into design wasn’t planned in the beginning. I started with graphic design – making social media posts and banners during college just to earn something on the side. Slowly, I realised I loved creating visual solutions that felt right.

What really pulled me into UX was understanding how design isn’t just about aesthetics but about purpose. Early on, YouTube channels like AJ&Smart, DesignCourse, and watching real product teardown videos helped me understand the “why” behind screens. Later, Figma became my daily playground, and doing small case study projects improved my confidence massively.

If you’re just starting out, my advice is to:

✅ Reverse engineer apps you use daily – understand their flows.

✅ Design something small every day – a screen, a feature, or an idea.

✅ Share your work, even if unfinished. Feedback early on shapes you faster than silent practice.

Excited to read everyone’s journeys here. Always learning from this community. 🙌
