I help create brand identities for emerging businesses & startups! Oh... and i discuss all things making, breaking & building as I go

When you've started your business, it's easy to get lost on the internet rhetoric.

"Do this if you're ambitious but lazy"
"why you need to build a personal brand"
"6 AI tools you need to know before the year ends"

2 sec knowledge isn't knowledge
It's a trigger & a distraction

Every single artist is a self-employed entrepreneur.
I am talking
musical artists
Painting experts
sculptors
dancers
textile artists
and more.

But rarely do business or finance experts cater to them.

Founders looking for branding appear to have just 3 options
- an AI tool that recycles 1000s of designs and generates a logo with a free side dish of trademark strikes
- A young freelancer who recently learnt photoshop and illustrator
- an Agency that charges millions.

Who are all these people?

FYI. Voice memos drive me crazy. They shift all the work from sender to receiver.

You hit record and ramble for 3 minutes while I’m stuck listening with no way to skim.

You’re trading YOUR efficiency for MY time, and if you keep choosing your convenience over mine, don’t be surprised when I stop opening your messages altogether.

Sometimes the seemingly stupidest call is a leap of faith - a skin-in-the-game moment that can change everything

@ravihanda When fear and uncertainity abounds, so does the clientele

And distract ourselves with some work again

Until something triggers the same feelings again

This doesn't quite fit there!

That needs to change

I wish I could do something else here...

What if... Will landlord object?

When you spot family looking at you like 🤨, you stop

Underrated Personal Crisis:

The spiral of needing to fix everything that designers go through.

having sensibilities honed over time, that one fine day, they look around themselves, and suddenly everything needs to change.
What we eat, sleep, use, play and work with

[Sumedha_✏✒🖍🖌🖋_Vemuri @Vemuri21]

this is not the type of "environment" I wanted to live in!

then comes the frenzy of cleaning, discarding, swapping, rearranging...

a little better, but not there yet...

Something's missing.

At the risk of going bankrupt, we stop

@dickiebush review

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

I'm seeing a lot of tweets about normalising prenups in India. All for it. As long as prenup mandates equal mental and physical labour, women's right to education and work post marriage, equal elderly care of both sets of parents, right to rest, equal participation in childcare

Guys, there are these massive family #WhatsApp groups where your elders spam everyone with random tidbits and Good Morning Messages, right?

I am pleased to see that ny father has outgrown it.

He now sends me motivational infographics from pro folks on #LinkedIn.
