Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Diksha Sadhwani . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Diksha , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with education – we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career.

One thing I would want to change in the education system is a limited curriculum. Yes, there’s no problem in keeping it specific but there is a problem in keeping it “limited”. The options are only limited to certain fields in the economic sector which also does in ways hampers with people with creative minds or who think towards a different goal for themselves. Careers like in Art & Design, Culinary, Performing Arts and much more are not even an option for children until they graduate high school. Instead if there is a curriculum which could support versatile practices or extra activities for people interested in different subjects could give those children a good start to their career.

I can relate a lot to this as being in the creative field when I first started in an art university, I thought of myself as a complete beginner knowing nothing about what I am getting into because I did not get a chance to explore my niche at an early stage.

Diksha , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a Motion Graphics Designer, which is a branch of graphic design combining a variety of different disciplines. Basically anything that involves movement on screen via computer transitions.
Currently I am pursuing my BFA at Savannah College of Art & Design and entering my Junior year.
While I am still exploring my unique style my passion lies in delivery captivating stories through my skills of 2D and 3D animation/ motion graphics. My early projects revolve around Graphic Design and Sound Design.

And beyond creating art I also love capturing my daily life on camera and sharing different aspects of my life on my social accounts.

I am very much proud of my very first personal project that I worked on! I started my own design magazine, called “Inscribe” which means to create from scratch. A unique kind of magazine which touches a lot of fields the design industry is impacting, for instance, Technology, Food, Fashion, Lifestyle, Art etc. I collaborate closely with 30+ interns in different departments like design, research, content creation and technical backends to develop the brand identity and printed issues of the magazine. I made sure to use industry standard sources and softwares to develop the visuals of the magazine, ensuring that everything we deliver met high standards of credibility and creativity. We also collaborated with artists already in the field, we asked them to do live sessions with us to emphasise the importance of design in today’s world!
The magazine is currently on hiatus, however, we plan to return with a bang soon!

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I am captivated by the thought of how we are surrounded by design everytime and everywhere but still these intricately designed things go unnoticed a lot of times. Similarly, people who are trying to get into the creative fields are considered unconventional or are questioned every time on their career choices. And I was one of them too!
My creative journey is driven by the desire to prove that design is ubiquitous for every job or company out there.

Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?

People who are clueless about this industry think that we basically do nothing, or I should say either we just draw, paint etc which is equal to nothing for a person let’s say who’s in IT. They don’t know how much brain storming it takes for us to come up with a single creative solution. Basically, people don’t understand the “Creative Process”either they applaud your work or they will just not notice it without knowing what process your art or you went through. It’s just either black or white for non creatives.
