We all had dreams in our childhood. I still remember those days when my mom used to pick me up from school. Back then, I always told her I wanted to become a scientist. But life is full of surprises, and our dreams often change along the way.
Time flies. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was a kid, but in no time, I grew up and became a teenager. As a teenager, I dreamed of becoming a designer. I spent countless hours editing pictures in Photoshop, and every moment felt incredible. Unfortunately, somewhere between high school and my undergraduate studies, I lost touch with what I loved the most. Like many engineering graduates in India, I started my career as a software developer.
My life at that point felt routine, even ordinary. Deep down, I knew I was missing something and wasn’t in the right place. So, like the protagonist of every story, I asked myself, “Am I doing what I truly love?” The answer was a resounding NO.
There’s a saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” That certainly proved true in my career. The company that hired me as a software developer had an opening for a graphic designer. I seized the opportunity and transitioned into the role of a graphic designer. Over time, I grew in my career, and today, I lead a UX design team. Despite the twists and turns, I’m proud to say that I’m doing what I love the most.
Currently, I’m solving problems through design at Mitartech.
