Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer. And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety. Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight. So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖 Hiring? My DMs are open.

Everyone saw the glamour and production value of DESIGN IS DEAD. But it's a video essay disguised as a brand film. Writing it took weeks: - research, and more research - every point iterated again and again - every shot written down to the detail Here’s the final script!

They say your portfolio should feel like you, so naturally I designed a sparkly mirrorball for its footer. 🪩✨ Loved making this one.
