D Talks - The Design Podcast

My name is Sanjay Reddy and I am an illustrator. I used to draw as a kid and I never thought I could make a living out of it. Back in the day, I did not have the exposure and guidance to explore my career options. I only came to know about design as a career option when I started my bachelors in engineering. I still remember the day I discovered it, I told my friends and parents that I can do a job where I will be paid to sketch. I can literally sketch in the office! That feeling was so good and strong that I started doing more research about it and came to know that there are design entrance exams - NID, U/CEED & NIFT. I didn't know how to prepare for these exams and I reached out to so many people and students who already appeared for these exams. But only a few of them replied and it was all very confusing. The biggest question was how to prepare for these exams and I had to figure everything out on my own. And even today I notice that there are students facing the same problems. The designers who cleared these exams are so busy with their work that they hardly find time to answer these questions. So I decided to start a podcast where I can address all the questions and also have edifying conversations with designers from different fields where we will be talking about interesting stories and trends in design. I hope to reach out to as many people as I can to share my passion for design. So please share this podcast with whoever you think might find it helpful
