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.

have always loved watching @designertom’s videos and never thought I’d be in one! 🥹

so cool to be there with my brother @vikpat and talk about how we made the film 💖

Do video portfolios work for designers?

@_darshi said this video has flooded her inbox with DMs.

She started with the questions: Why would somebody hire Darshita in the age of AI?

She answered it with a short film she made over two months with her brother @vikpat.

Video didn't come up a ton when we talked portfolios on Dive Radio, and this makes a good case for it.

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!
