So on this page, I will explain why I think I should be on the Spotify design team.

“People with passion can change the world for the better”
Product design
Spotify
I have a passion for music. OK, this could sound like I am just saying this to increase my chances cause I am not into creating music, but that doesn't mean I don't have passion.
I am always listening to music.
I have been a Spotify user when it wasn't even available in India.
I am always exploring different cultural music that is connected to people's hearts,
also, I have a vision to explore Spotify India and its cultural music library

One more thing working for Spotify as a Product designer just doesn’t feel like work to me Read more
I am not just here thinking “Wow It will be cool to work at Spotify”
No!!
I am driven by passion, and I feel If I join I am here to stay and I am staying even if I get rejected this time.
My passion can fuel my creativity and dedication to bring results to my work in the company.
Current work
I have worked on some projects for Spotify and curated case studies and something that I noticed is:
I loved doing this project.
All these projects didn't feel like work to me.
I loved doing the research loved sitting down with pen and paper and writing down ideas.
And yes I understand there is a possibility that working at Spotify with a team can be a different kind of reality check for me but, I am ready for the challenge.
You can check all my projects Here.

I wish to work with passion.

I wish to ideate for Spotify
Compared to what I have seen in the industry and around me, people mostly work just for money and otherwise, the company and their work are nothing for them.
People just come in complete the task take the money and go, I don't want to wish to be an employee.
When I see myself being a product designer at Spotify, I think about the product all the time, not just when I am in working hours.
I see myself thinking about Spotify India and what I can give to the company through my empathy for India and its people.
Right now I see myself working toward the specific feature of Spotify and thinking about how I can improve it.
Just like right now I am doing, I see myself asking random people or people I know questions when I see them using Spotify on their devices. to see and solve potential issues.
Even right now I see myself volunteering to visit the Mumbai office of Spotify even though there is no design team I believe in connecting with other departments to identify any Usability issues or improvements we can make.
I see myself travelling to different offices of Spotify on different continents where designers are working to expand my thinking to broader ranges.

For some co-operations this could come out as useless information for a job application but till now what I have known about spotify, I feel this team values good nature and working with win-win setuations for employee, the company and the world. and obviously results are also equally important.

As for the skills, I feel when it comes to learning and gaining experience there is always more to know and gain, So that's something the team will validate through interviews if I am worthy of a chance or not.

Learning and reading about fascinating stuff this world has to offer.
Learning various new skills (I am basically jack of all trades but I wish to major in UX design)
Eating healthy, working out every day and reading every day.
I also give the right time for Family and friends, outings in nature, and grasping the beauty of human creations getting into deep thinking about why and how they are created and what was the need for the creation, and yes I don't usually miss a sunset.

Creative productivity
I am a highly disciplined person in all aspects of life and recently in all these healthy habits I pursue for life, I started quoting a term called creative productivity.
As its stated in the name these are practices I perform to become creative in my work, I am writing about this as I grow.
making deliberate choices, taking deliberate actions,
and being intentional about how you spend your time, energy, and attention for maximum creativity
