After, freelancing for some time and working in the industry for a few years, she realized that it lacked the creative energy in the field and also how people around the town lacked the understanding and know-how of product designing. She travelled across India where she met and worked with various NGOs and manufacturers to find the right material and expertise to turn her designs into real artistic products, like coasters, lamps and wall clocks. In the meanwhile, the urge to manufacture something she designed herself, took strong hold of her and she started Design Diaries in February 2014. It is a studio where people with ideas come to learn and give it a real shape, as well as people without any idea, come to find inspiring possibilities. Major three services that Design Diaries provide are art, design &amp; craft workshops, decor consultancy and corporate\/ personal\/ customized gifting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2246\" src=\"http:\/\/digitaldoorsurat.easyglue.in\/surat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitaldoor.co.in\/surat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/02\/10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/digitaldoor.co.in\/surat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/02\/10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digitaldoor.co.in\/surat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/02\/10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digitaldoor.co.in\/surat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/02\/10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What was the motivation behind it?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lack of creativity and the awareness of product designing in the town was a major setback, and that\u2019s what drove her to start taking classes and while designing things herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Challenges faced:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lack of knowledge of product design also led people to speculate and pitch original products against Chinese counterparts.
