Community
Community is how I give back. What started as showing up to local meetups turned into leading them—today I help run chapters around Figma, Notion, Raycast, and design and productivity across Chennai and Bengaluru, and host free meetups every quarter.
I've also mentored a number of early-career designers into their first jobs—something I find as rewarding as the work itself. If that sounds helpful, book a call on Topmate.
