Loved the talk by @mrinalikamath & Julianna Murphy on "Designing for tech you don't get"!

"Design keeps the trajectory of innovation centered on real people, not monetary gain." - Julianna

(I also loved how they decided to refer to this as "unique spaces"!)

"Design and User Research have the unique ability to be able to uncover creative solutions to technical constraints which can often hinder innovation!"
#RemoteDesignWeek
Identify allies who can help. This will often be domain experts or people who've been around, and when you ask the right questions.

There will be a lot of company-specific knowledge that no one will have documented/onboarded you with because of the speed at which things happen. Image
Julianne gave an example of one such ally explaining a concept to her for 3 hours.

Followed by Mrinali perfectly capturing why these SUPER smart people will take time out to help you hit the ground running :)
Learn as much as you can from these people!

"Stop and make sure you understand why you're working on something and check that all the user stories, needs & features, etc. ACTUALLY map up to that.
Once established, this *why* is what you can use to validate your work and grow your credibility over time"
#RemoteDesignWeek Image
How do you keep up with the⚡️speed of development?
"You know when to stop. And once you do stop, you have a way to test to see if what you already have solves the problem completely"
This is something that Julianne used in her team.

"Avoid burnout and don't be too intimidated by smart people around you, know your value and strengths as a designer.
You're also learning a lot, every day there are things which you now know, that you didn't know.
Trust that you are getting smarter everyday😌"
#RemoteDesignWeek
They also made this 🔥🔥 cheat sheet for the same!!

So hyped for @TheKawalOberoi's talk at @typewknd. Might just end up tweeting some moments here 👀

Freelancing Designers (especially in India) with < 2-3years of experience DEFINITELY check out his amazing talk.
Starting out going straight for the jugular,
"Before you convince a client that your work has value, you yourself have to be convinced" - Kawal
When you find clients unwilling to pay. Remember. We exchange value for money, so articulate the value you bring from the client's point of view.

(Quote from Kawal's cousin, Amritpal, who earns his living tying turbans at diff occasions)

"Less is more attractive when you’ve got a lot of money, and minimalism is easily transformed from a philosophy of intentional restraint into an aesthetic language through which to assert a form of walled-off luxury"

Love how true this take is -

newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
'His dual response to the all-white apartment is one of the only moments in “The Longing for Less” when Chayka acknowledges his attraction to superficial minimalism, but that attraction pulses throughout the book.'
True minimalism, Chayka insists, is “not about consuming the right things or throwing out the wrong; it’s about challenging your deepest beliefs in an attempt to engage with things as they are, to not shy away from reality or its lack of answers.”

An Open Letter:
Dear Professors and Instructors of our beautiful education system,
I Hope this tweet finds you well and safe and you are all doing well.

(Sounds familiar right? That was the point)

Since you seem to always dismiss the 'hardships' faced by the students right now, allow me to share my perspective, as a graduating student.

These hardships vary from place to place/person to person. Especially in a country with diverse demography as India.

Firstly lets look at it from a privileged standpoint, thankfully having access to electricity and basic essentials. But living in a city worst hit by the pandemic.
It isn't that much of a privilege as it looks.

How so?

All the dope intros the various cartoons 90s and 2000s kids will get an immediate nostalgia trip through.

He really zucced people's dream of moving to a new city for a job as well as the city culture and the people huh.
jk jk... unless😨

Jokes apart though, I'm super happy about how many new doors this will open up. I'm sure companies will still be wary of hiring new grads this way, but a lot more amazing people NOT living in accessible "hubs" will have access to better opportunities!
And slowly, hopefully, this opens up a way for more opportunity for everyone in the long run! Not everyone has the privilege (in terms of finance or family) to relocate for their dream job :3
