In this episode of Design Office Hours, I join Sushant Vohra and his community Young Designers of India (YDOI) for a live Q&A covering everything from skill mastery in the age of AI to how we reshape design education for the future.

This one’s full of bold questions and even bolder takes.

We cover:

• What makes someone great at facilitating creative collaboration

• Why lifelong learning is a designer’s most important skill

• How to navigate large organizations with fragmented design teams

• The real value (and limits) of design thinking workshops

• Why mastering a skill will never disappear—but what you need to master will change

• How to find purpose and stay unstuck in a world that’s constantly shifting

 

Whether you’re a student, a team leader, or a solo designer wondering how to stay relevant, this episode offers both honest takes and future-facing strategies.

🎧 Listen now, and DM me your favorite takeaways.
