What got me into design?
My Design journey started somewhere when I was in high-school. While teaching my grandfather how to use a smartphone, I observed a lot of challenges he faced. Simple tasks like sending a WhatsApp message or making a UPI payment were not as easy for him as they seemed to me. This was my Eureka Moment. I wondered “What if I can grow up to build such applications that my even grandfather can use without my help…?“
Soon enough I was introduced to the field of UX Design which seemed to have the potential to bridge this gap between People & Technology.
