1/ I made a video over the weekend, and making it was the fun part. I'd been seeing everyone share their @claudeai Opus 5.5 experiments, so I gave it my portfolio site and one brief: introduce me the way a friend or recruiter who knows me would.

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.

Made a home for my design work, notes & experiments.
A little corner of the internet that feels like me, with plenty of room to keep adding more:))

Manhandled, dragged, assaulted n misbehaved inside a police vehicle and dumped by the roadside - for the crime of speaking to the media.
This is not merely an assault on an MP. It is an assault on democratic freedoms and the rule of law. More chillingly, it happened within hours of the Supreme Court issuing directions to safeguard peaceful protest and constitutional rights.
I have written to the Hon’ble President of India @rashtrapatibhvn , the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha @VPIndia and the Chief Justice of India seeking urgent intervention and fixing accountability for the police personnel, and action on the question of parliamentary privilege.
The Government cannot intimidate democracy into silence. It cannot substitute the force of the baton for the force of debate. And it shouldn’t expect the people to surrender their constitutional freedoms merely because those in power find dissent inconvenient. The strength of a democracy lies not in its capacity to suppress dissent, but in its ability to address it.

3/ It opens with me being born deaf, since that's why I care about making things that work for everyone. Captioned all the way through, voice by @elevenlabsio.
4/ Already iterated since posting on LinkedIn: a friend suggested showing where the work happened, so each domain now gets its company stamp. If you're building something for real people, come say hi. #Claude #Accessibility

WATCH HOW SUJEET KALKAL TURNED A 9-2 DEFICIT INTO ASIAN GAMES GOLD. 🎥🔥🇮🇳
DON’T BLINK. THIS COMEBACK HAPPENED IN REAL TIME. 🤼♂️
THE SCORE SAID 9-2.
THE CLOCK SAID “TOO LATE.”
SUJEET KALKAL SAID “WATCH ME.” 🇮🇳🔥🤼♂️
9-2 → 10-9. GOLD. 🥇
Eight points.
Two minutes.
One unbelievable comeback.
Tajikistan’s Abdulmajid Kudiev was seven points ahead in the Asian Games 65kg FINAL.
Sujeet Kalkal had almost no room left for error.
So he stopped defending the deficit…
and started hunting.
Attack after attack.
Point after point.
Until the scoreboard flipped:
9-9.
Then came the GOLDEN point.
10-9. SUJEET KALKAL. 🇮🇳🥇
And remember—
just hours earlier, Sujeet had eliminated reigning Olympic champion Kotaro Kiyooka in a 3-3 criteria thriller.
Olympic champion in the semifinal.
Seven-point comeback in the final.
This wasn't just a GOLD medal.
This was a refusal to lose.
9-2 से 10-9 — नागोया में सुजीत ने हार की कहानी को गोल्ड की कहानी बना दिया। 🇮🇳🔥

Was a real pleasure to make time to meet everyone and exchange meaningful stories about design and life. Thanks to @2sraval for the initial push
Sunday's Design Leadership Brunch (Episode 2) reminded me, once again, why I love the design community. ❤️
A special thanks to the senior design leaders who joined us and keep contributing to India's design growth story: @surdattack, @saurabhsoni_ss, @sambert, @saptarshipr, @karthickmurari, @shantsagar, Leena Jacob and @munztdt. 🙏
What I enjoyed most was watching the conversations unfold so naturally. Seeing them take out their personal time to guide budding design leaders, talking about hiring, products and leadership, and helping them think about their next steps.
I've been fortunate to attend some wonderful design events in India and the Bay Area. They have their own place, and I've learned a lot from them.
But a brunch like this brings something different. When a mindfully curated group of people on similar journeys comes together, everyone moves at their own pace. People slow down, listen, share honestly, and the conversations go deeper.
I truly believe this is how a strong design community grows, one conversation at a time. That's how we'd love to help take design up in India, in the truest sense. At @BeingUser, we just set the table. The people who show up make it what it is.
And to Vikas Raj Yadav, thank you for beautifully capturing these moments. 📸
Seeing how much people love this format, we're doubling down on it and will be hosting more episodes, more often. The next one is likely in November. See you there! 😊
Quite the humbling for us. 4 away games in a row and it was a matter of time, but Brighton owned our asses from start to finish and didn’t let us shoot on target
Nice and productive Saturday after months! Made perfect Turkish eggs for the first time, organized my entire wardrobe and now hoping for 3 points for @Arsenal to make it sweet!
