Interview

3 questions

› What is your favorite item in your workspace?

Definitely my main machine (13" M1 Macbook Pro) which was gifted by my parents on my birthday. Can’t be grateful enough for the gift which helps me design so efficiently!

› How do you spark creativity?

Being away from screen. I tend to look into even the tiniest things around me. Even going out for a tennis session or cycling helps me clear my mind. Lately, I have started practicing timed meditation to clear my thoughts and make room for positive as well as creative ideas.

› What do you enjoy most about remote work?

Can’t thank enough for the remote work opportunity I get. The most beautiful thing about remote work is the flexibility to schedule my time as I want. Also, remote working helps save time from commuting. But, I look forward to work in a hybrid mode where I can feel connected to my co-workers as well.
