Co-creating with Augmented Intelligence
I am Tejaswini and I am the co-founder of an experiential travel company called Unventured Expeditions. My background is mostly in Advertising and Marketing. As a founder of a young start-up that has seen the highs and lows of the many seasons of the pandemic, it's fair to say our growth graph has been a roller coaster ride and one filled with many lessons. Indulge me while I briefly take a philosophical turn, it's when you hit rock bottom you either stay there or grapple in every which way to get back up.

A fun team trip!
We planned for it post our PoC. The entire team was super excited about it. We booked a treehouse, a cozy homestay amidst a coffee plantation. It was a nice, fun-filled, and refreshing break.

Why designers need empathy?
A few years back, to showcase a proof-of-concept to a potential customer in a short timeline. We started working on the design and data model at the same time. Expecting the changes from the design would only affect the screens and UI state, but eventually, it changed the data model as well.

Design: Why less is more?
Yesterday night a taxi driver asked for directions to a destination a bit away from our current place. I assume he doesn’t have a phone or maps at that time. I gave him the route in full detail, it goes like this; take a left and in the second signal take a right, then left, and so on. Within a moment, I could see his face, looks like he might drop the plan of going there. Then I just gave him the next two turns. Take a left and in the dead-end take a right then ask someone. His face turned bright.
Ram
More than one solution
Let’s say we want to design a brochure for a B2B product event. A standard way is to use the brand identity and create a professional-looking design. To stand out in an event, we might need a playful design to attract the audience to our booth. Both have their own merits and demerits.

The purpose is powerful than the privilege.
I recently came across an anecdote from Buddha’s life. It’s about a hare and a wolf. One day Buddha and his disciples saw a wolf chasing a hare near them in a forest. And the conversation goes like this.
