Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer. And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety. Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight. So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖 Hiring? My DMs are open.

Proof of work: darshitapatankar.com If your team cares about what design shapes, not just what it ships, I'd love to talk.

They say your portfolio should feel like you, so naturally I designed a sparkly mirrorball for its footer. 🪩✨ Loved making this one.

weekend maxxing 😼

Designing games for kids feels insanely rewarding. Nothing comes close to watching them genuinely fall in love with something you made.
