3 Years, 1 Startup, and a Lifetime of Memories
I joined a team of young, passionate minds who thrived on sharing knowledge, solving problems, and making things happen. The energy was infectious, and every day felt like an opportunity to grow—not just as a designer but as a team player. What started as working with colleagues soon turned into friendships, and before I knew it, we were bonding over late-night deadlines, weekend getaways, and shared memes on Slack.

🎉 Work Hard, Party Harder
My journey began with a legendary team outing to Goa. Sunsets on the beach, wild parties, and endless laughter set the perfect tone for what was ahead. It wasn’t just about fun; it was about bonding beyond work, and that made all the difference.

🍟 More Than Just Free Snacks
Sure, the unlimited coffee and snack stash kept us fueled, but the real perk was the freedom to work the way we wanted. Whether it was brainstorming in cozy corners or jamming ideas over Figma chats, creativity flowed effortlessly.

🏸 From Desks to Playgrounds.
Startups aren’t just about work; they’re about winning - whether it’s a snooker match, a heated badminton rally, or an intense game of UNO. We turned our office into a mini sports arena, and every competition brought out our inner champions (and trash talkers!).

🎂 Festivals & Cake-Powered Celebrations
Every occasion was a reason to celebrate. Birthdays and work anniversaries meant cake (lots of it) and binge-watching TV shows when we totally should have been working.

💻 Figma Banter & Dev Team Comedy Specials
Our Slack channels were a comedy goldmine - inside jokes, memes, and roasts kept us entertained. Meanwhile, Figma wasn’t just for design; it became a battlefield for doodles, comments, and playful chaos. And let’s not forget our devs’ humorous approach to coding, turning even debugging sessions into comedy.

The Takeaway?
Three years at a startup isn’t just about the work you do; it’s about the people you do it with. From rookie designer to leading projects, from colleagues to lifelong friends—this journey has been nothing short of incredible.
