This roundtable turned to a conversation between the two — Abhinav Chhikara & Sidharth, since the other guests couldn't make it. We talked about several topics but mostly covered: *Switching to design career* - Switching from a non-design industry to design or designer roles - Why self-learning is the future of design and why & how you should make your own "path" - A framework by Abhinav on how you can track your progress and what you can expect as you start to self-learn design *Switching from one design specialization to another* - Why may you want to change — what are some good reasons? - Switching from Graphic Design to Product Design - Product Designers learning or moving to Motion Design and vice versa *Generalist vs specialist & multi-disciplinary designers* - Difference and common things between a generalist and a specialist - How requirements and opportunities change as you shift between the two Stories - We frequently share our success — let's talk about one story of failure and what you'd learn from it *Side projects* Abhinav is working on www.10kdesigners.com — with a goal to help 10,000 new self-taught designers emerge in the industry with a network of industry experts. His YouTube Channel, uisources.com, booklets.io, and many future projects will be under that mother brand. After several failed attempts at building some apps, I have moved back to blog ging, vlogging, speaking at colleges, creating content, & sharing his journey — watching folks from college enter the industry and d o well, over the years, and the possibility of being a part of their story is what keeps me going. --- Abhinav Chhikara is a design educator, digital creator, youtuYouTuberber, and mentor to many designers across the country.
