So I played around and made a crypto wallet app😅. No one's got you like your bro's got you *wink*. What do you think? #uiuxdesign#DesignUp22#designthinking
Super excited to be back at @DesignUpConf this year — joined by an amazing set of sketchnoting & data scholars this year, and playing with data for Deconstruct!
Here's an ongoing thread with sketchnotes, photos & more from #DUp19! 👇
I also ran a short Unconference with @soosixty, for sketchnoters & illustrators.
We spent some time looking at each other's work, and then talked about our own journeys, inhibitions to getting started, ways to get unstuck & building a safe space to grow!

I also loved seeing the rich visual collection of Milton tiles & see history of how these designs spread across the world.
Ruchika Modhok inspired everyone through her digital recreations of these tiles, & urged them to seek more such stories by being curious.

I couldn't sketchnote two wonderful talks that I also enjoyed.
@meetamalhotra from @TheHardCopyCo gave a wonderful perspective on the state of design today from the perspective of executives.
Her talk was filled with wisdom, quotes & excellent choice of memes!

My sketchnotes don't do justice to the beautifully illustrated slides @soosixty had put together.
Loved how she connected insights across her illustrations spanning two decades, and also highlighted the importance of connecting outside work (like at #DesignUp22!)

I was really looking forward to @soosixty’s talk on pursuing creative joy — and it was marvelous!
I loved the quotes from @juddgarratt on design leadership as a craft, and @greghodgson on expanding your canvas as a design leader!

Finally, some #sketchnotes from the amazing @beastoftraal’s talk on 6 key steps to building your brand.
I’ve enjoyed his workshop on this topic in the past, and resonated with so much of his advice! Social Media takes hard work, but is much needed today!

ALT Sketchnotes from Karthik’s talk on Personal Branding, reminding to focus on defining what you stand for, being conscious to only talk about that on Social Media, and always acting as if you’re on stage.
Next, we had 3 ⚡️ talks:
🍎 @tanvi_1699 spoke on product illustration for a SaaS product
👵 @JunezaNiyazi explained how she explains design, inspired by her grandmother’s wisdom
🤖 @akshaykore on how AI Humans will lead to Collective Intelligence

@ashpodel inspired the audience through his talk about Drawing on Courage (also the title of his book, beautifully illustrated by @rubyetc!)
He highlighted that we often think skill gaps are stopping us, when what we need is more courage!

Ayaz Basrai blew everyone’s minds with his talk on India Futures Project — a speculative design project with several provocative concepts about the future of India.

Day #2 started with Neeraj @DrupadMistryʼs wonderful lecture-demonstration on how music is structured. It was lovely to hear them draw parallels to structure, form, color & more!
(Tiny clip, because nothing compares to listening to this live!)
