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

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 :)
I’ve been curious to know how designers create content (podcasts, writing, videos and courses). Getting to pick the brains of some of design (and design adjacent) folks tomorrow. Join me, @kingsidharth @AngelineBhavya @Sahilxdesign and @saptarshipr nitter.gq/i/spaces/1lPKqXVwWaMxb

Thanks for listening, Nisha :)
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. open.spotify.com/episode/1z3…

Replying to @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)
Great points here - especially thinking of your career as a ‘product’

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.

Great thread for designers to learn from!
Hiring mangers, what are some of the most common reasons you reject a design candidate?
Design Lota retweeted
🚨Hiring update!🚨 Looking to hire interns/junior designers for UI/UX/Illustrations/Branding. Ok with people with no work ex/transitioning into design but should have basic understanding of some tools and a strong interest in design. DM for details. Please refer/RT for karma.
