Talk Design To Me!

Anurag Arora is a product designer at Uber who also loves cooking amazing food in his free time. He's one of the team members who built the Uber lite app and was a former product designer at Twitter. Anurag is someone who looks at things in their simplest form and constantly questions how to make things better. In this episode, we talk about his journey as a designer—his early ventures in design, his first design gig, his pivot into product design, his early design life at Twitter & his move to Uber. We also talked about what an ideal portfolio should look like for someone who's starting out, whether it's better to work at a product based company or a design agency for their first job, how to go about learning and practicing product design and how to always have sight of the big picture without getting lost in the details. In the Make The Logo Bigger section of this episode Anurag talked about how people seem to form opinions about the products that they use and create judgments about these products without trying to understand all the thinking and nuances that go behind making design decisions. Definitely look up Anurag at @anuragarorra on Instagram from some incredible food porn! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/srinivas-teja/message
