<aside> ▪️ 2016-18 - Freelance Visual Designer
After writing so much content I realized that content wasn’t the one for me. That’s why when I found graphics, my life turned upside down.
I started picking up multiple projects which included POD (Print on Demand) collaboration.

Genesis Media also gave me the job to work as Content Writer & Social Media Manager for couple of months.

<aside> ▪️ 2018-19 - UI/UX & Visual Designer (Writopedia)
After purchasing my dream bike from the freelancing money. It was time take upon the next challenge - full time employment.
Writopedia is a content writing agency which required a UI/UX designer immediately. So when I went for the interview, I was instantly selected and began the work next day. It turned out that they were behind their schedule by a week. On my first couple of days, I started the work day at 10 am and left at 2:30 am & 1:30 am respectively. I put their project back on track and rest was history.
After completing all the UI/UX work, I worked on content and managed to get 25k words submitted every month which was equivalent to part-time content writer work.
I was awarded “Employee of the Month” 3 times in a row just after 1 month of joining.

<aside> ▪️ 2019 - Sr. Designer (Orionators - Miraj Group)
After the triumph at my first job, it was time to get larger exposure with a Digital Marketing Agency & MNC.
Here, I really improved my craft as a Product Designer. I also learned Interactions Design & some front-end Development work.
Being the Senior Designer, I was responsible to manage all the creative output for the company. The other 2 designers were handling minor projects and required extensive training. This is the reason why they promoted me twice within a year and offered a Head of Design position (but I had some other plans.)

<aside> ▪️ 2020 - Product Designer (Cyber Design)
Despite the upside, financial incentive was not avaliable in my previous company that’s why this was my final switch before going all alone.
Going in-depth into the product development cycle using Scrum was the major learning point here.

Here are some of the things that we achieved during the same time.
<aside> ▪️ 2022-Present - Head of Product (Holonym Foundation)
Being a curious person, I soon found out about Web3’s potential and went into the rabbit hole. I connected with Nanak from YC Cofounder Matching and started working on Web3 eBook Marketplace. Soon we pivoted and started the work on decentralized identity. This soon turned into the Holonym Foundation currently raising $250k in Pre-Seed.
