So last night I was searching for Food.
I ended up on my usuals

But I thought let's try something new. I started searching via Emojis, rather than words.
Here's what happened :

Someone at PaytmMoney decided to put Mutual Funds on the 9th Tab on their primary navigation.
"9th Tab"
That's even after refer & earn 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder what could've been the reason behind this.
Literally took me 15 minutes of freaking out where my MFs went.

Who is hiring Product Designers right now? ✨
I want to help a few friends on the internet find great opportunities at the start of this year and step closer to achieving their goals.🏆

What's with the state of design leaders in India? 😐
I see so many people lacking basic empathy, competence for craft and the ability to uphold and support their team.
Big Startups with leaders and design managers traumatizing their teams and leaving them with false promises,
Kudos to IRCTC for giving an opportunity to so many UX Designers for getting started in Design. 😁
Wonder what newcomers would do if the site was perfect. 🤣
Thanks from all of the design community 🎉

🤦🏼Asks for a PDF Presentation with all rules/principles written

Do it in 4 days or disqualified

What's the 👍🏼 best and the
👎🏼 worst investment in your life?
I'll go first.
🚀Best investment: A good laptop that helped me get into design & got me all the jobs over the years.
😕Worst investment: College. Didn't learn anything special I couldn't have learned myself.
Ohh and this, Bento boxes are the traditional Japanese lunch boxes. It's difficult to find them easily in India.
Behold, the Thali - the Indian Bento box. Bought tears of happiness in my eyes 😭

When you run into 100s of portfolios, everything is seen, everything becomes common, everything follows a trend.
A lot of people do great quality work but don't focus as much on showcasing(?)(true at certain levels atleast)
On the other side: All edtech apps look similar 😁
Created my first ever GPT - "The UX Sage" - A UX mentor and friend that will help you do anything from solving your UX problems to creating a career roadmap for you.
👉🏻 I'll be continuously fine-tuning it so it can share my learnings as well as its own
Sad people in their bubbles doing things and thinking highly of themselves.
Who talks like that to people. Talk about community building 🤷🏼♂️ mazaak hai ye to. What happened to you people?
Would be great to learn how to engage with people without being passive aggressive.
@dushybag
Yup dragging the hard work of a team in public, especially the one you didn't pay for, without understanding how the product works is much easier than reading a blog post.

Have this weird urge to Join UX Bootcamps/courses in India anonymously to evaluate them
And then, share a detailed report so that everyone benefits from it
The idea is to help set the benchmark for a high-quality learning experience through an objective rubric.
Open to ideas 🙌🏼
My absolute favourite part about exploring new fonts is these visuals. 😍
Been in love with the Russian constructivist style specially. Crazy stuff. Donned one of these as my wallpapers💙
Any designer(s) out there who make similar stuff?

My advice to people is just to try both and Don't settle for what people say and see it for yourself.
Do your own effort-impact analysis to see if it aligns with your greater interests 🤷🏼♂️.
Experiment with everything.

I don't care about the packaging if the food isn't good.
More often than not it's the food(or work itself) that gets people rejected.
Presentation (not storytelling) is a very tiny part of it.

Empty states, error states and support channels are one of the the most underrated and overlooked aspects of any product or platform.👮🏼
And this is what truly differentiates a good product from a great product.
Don't just build for happy cases. You gotta get your hands dirty.
@hckmstrrahul
I look for curiosity, willingness to learn, attitude and general problem solving.
Things like design process & final outcome are subject to availability of good problems and actually being able to follow through the "said design process".
Also these things are easily learnable

Delhi Mai people just say sir change nai hai Paytm kardo. 😍 What times man 🙌🏼
Man, UPI killed the toffee for change economy.
Would love to see how the pre-UPI and post-UPI toffee sales look 👀
Been working on this feature for over 8 months now. It's finally out for GoFood across all locations.
Great products are built with the user community at the center.
This is only the beginning 😁 So long to go 🤓
@CharmieKapoor
This is the moment to look at this situation from empathy and evaluate how the broken design hiring experience can be improved.
How can we create an equal opportunity environment so folks feel confident and safe to share their stories and not be judged 💕
Some thoughts on startups hiring early designers as well 🚀
Hire people who want to build good stuff, are curious about how things work & motivated to improve constantly while having an Acumen for solving problems
Tools and frameworks are never ending and can be learnt easily

This is just 2 of many chats I've had in my career with HRs, hiring manager and CXOs. There's always going to be people who will try to belittle you or challenge your self worth.
Believe in yourself and take a stand. You might lose the fight but you'll always win the war. 🚀
Will try to share some of my learnings
Firstly, understand that UX Writing is Design. Like motion, visual or any other function, It plays an equal role in the overall UX
At any given point of time 80% of whatever you see on an app or website is Text. Hence content design is key
👋🏼 Hey folks!
• PDs, how do you collaborate with UX writers?
• UX writers, how do you work with PDs/ other teams?
Our team has a UX writer now 🥳 & I'm trying to learn how to work w them. If you have processes/ resources, I'd love to hear! 📝
DM open, RT appreciated 🌻🙏🏼
@CharmieKapoor
Another thing is with the mess that the layoffs were, a lot of folks (incl designers) faced a traumatic experience.
Imagine being in that situation and trying to do express your creative individuality when people couldn't even backup their work 🤷🏼♂️ life's hard yo!
If you or your company does this, please stop 🙏.
There are better ways to evaluate candidates and also test critical thinking, design fundamentals and collaboration skills.

The battery optimisation on M1 macs is just crazy. Been using the new MBP and haven't charged my laptop in almost 2 days now.
Used Lightroom, Figma, lot of browsing and Netflix during this time.
Apple silicon really is crazy. Over 9Hr screen on time.

Loved every bit of it. Even the glitches 😛

For experienced work from home folks, what's the best external monitor and wireless keyboard/mouse setup you've used for all day use with a connected and closed MacBook Pro so I don't need to use it's keyboard.
USB C to monitor preferred, please share suggestions.

Haven't heard stories any stories on this 🤔
The best Monday morning ever ♥️

Weird stigma around this now.
If you don’t smoke or drink, what are you doing? How did you reach here? Peer pressure all the time. When did it all become mainstream?
