What's a book that made you a better designer, but is not really about design?

[Angeline Bhavya @AngelineBhavya]

This was fun! Always rewarding to compare notes and learn from other creators and also think through some great listener questions. Thanks for hosting, @anirudhux!

If you have a question or feedback about what I spoke on, DM me or @DesignLota :)

Who's making content that makes you a better designer/creative? Tag them in the replies

[Julie Zhuo @joulee]

Great designers are strong at "product thinking." This is a key aspect of many design interviews, as well as many PM or VC ones.

Being creative/productive during this pandemic has been quite challenging for most of us. This episode on mental health by @DesignLota is a must-listen & is a gold mine of sorts with coping tips for creatives who struggle to create during stressful times.

What's an unwritten skill designers need to have?

[Design Lota @DesignLota]

@DesignLota has this beautiful episode on mental health. A particular line that really catches on...
We forget the all important role art and design has in communication or in moving things forward. We usually think design leadership is (1/3)

A major problem in illustration libraries is that they are made are for a western context. But @manivarmajeeva, @Sarun_kr and the @obvious_in team have released a beautifully handcrafted illustration library of people and environments from India to solve this.
