My first design lesson

My first design lesson had zero Figma, zero wireframes, and zero UI talk.

I walked into CodeCamp 3.0 an event by Hackathon and Coding Club, BIT Sindri expecting shortcuts and tools.

My mentor Naveen Prajapati walked in with just questions: "Why do airplane windows have an oval shape?" "Why is the Apple logo's leaf on the right?"

The entire session goes like this. No software. No color theory. Just questions that made me stop and actually look at the world around me.

And somewhere in that room, something clicked.

UI is what you see. UX is how you feel.

You can't shortcut your way into understanding people.

I completed that bootcamp and signed up for design class by Evening Designers. Got certified. Eventually moved into product.

One session. One mentor. UX questions.

If you're learning design right now find the person who doesn't teach you the tool. Find the one who changes how you see.

Who was that person for you?
