Vijay Verma is a talented designer renowned for his intricate Figma art and his extensive portfolio of free digital resources. In this episode, we explore his humble beginnings as an electrician in India and his rise to become one of the most beloved designers in the Figma community. Additionally, we have a special case study where Vijay walks us through his character design process, complete with a bonus time-lapse recording he sent after the interview.
Please note that Vijay speaks quite fast, and this is a media-rich episode. Therefore, I highly recommend watching the interview on YouTube with subtitles on. If you're tuning in elsewhere, simply head to https://yo.fm/vijay to fully experience the talent of Vijay Verma.
