Doodles to Deadlines: Navigating Your Creative Career

Doodles to Deadlines: Navigating Your Creative Career

Because every creative career starts with a single doodle — let’s turn yours into something real.

Ever found yourself sketching ideas in the margins of your notebook or dreaming about turning your creativity into a career?

Doodles to Deadlines is a pre-event of Design Jatra, brought to you by Friends of Figma, Kathmandu, designed to help students, aspiring creatives, and curious minds understand what it really takes to thrive in the world of design and creativity.

Are you a student dreaming of a future in design but unsure where to begin?
Join us for Doodles to Deadlines, a virtual session designed to give you a clear roadmap into the world of design. Learn from experienced professionals as they share their journeys, insights, and advice on starting a career in UI/UX, Graphic Design, or Motion Design.
This session will help bridge the gap between raw ideas and real-world opportunities, covering everything from portfolio-building and career paths to lessons from those who’ve turned their doodles into deadlines.
