The design mini-travelogue

In years that have passed, the concept of design in India has evolved greatly. Back in school, design to me was nothing more that something that involves both art and logic. But with a carefree yet confident attitude, I dived into it with a hunch that this was what I was meant to do.
To cut the long story short, I graduated with a much more developed idea of design and with the words of wisdom that said "To say that I was born to do this would be dramatic, but I am happily stuck with it now".

I graduated as a Professional in Product and interface design. The most valuable thing that this field gave me was flexibility and adaptability. A "never to say no to anything" attitude was what became an inherent part of me. So from being a "product" designer and doing bamboo lamps, I switched to doing mobile and software interfaces and now into web interaction/usability and even graphics at times.

But this strange journey has retained my belief and even made it stronger. Design is definitely an exquisite combination of creativity and logic. As a graphic designer, I go crazy on the web layouts and making things fancy and appealing but the usability professional in me tones things down onto a more logical ground to make things more user-friendly.
