Karu - Tamil Design Podcast

The amount of bullying I’ve faced for doing what others can’t is unbearable. From my language to every single thing I do, there’s always some idiot ready to call me out. Today, I’m calling out every single one of you.

In some areas, people are so afraid to speak up that I won’t blame them. If I lacked awareness of my health I’d likely end up in a similar situation and it would impact everyone involved in this work. So please take care of your health. Write it to me jetheswaran@protonmail.com

In this episode, I'm going to take you all through a non-stupid way of approaching freelancing in the upcoming days.

In this episode, I share my experience with designing movie posters. It’s something I still look back on fondly, and the learning curve was quite steep. Whatever I have now is because of those posters. I hope you enjoy the video, and I’m hoping you’ll subscribe and support me to continue making videos like this.

I feel so privileged when I tell my friends I used this phone when I was young. I borrowed it from my brother. From every door I’ve opened, it’s let me into a magnified world of precise detailing and features that they themselves know no one will notice. They still kept it for someone like me to use and talk about it after years 15 years.

This was supposed to be the first-ever episode of my podcast about breaking the stereotypical approach to talking about design. Ever since the days I started learning design back in 2015 using free Jio public Wi-Fi, I could only see people talking about 'how to do this' and 'how to do that,' but never about the design journey in general. This episode is dedicated to my younger self...

Advertising has both a good and a bad side. While excessive advertising can be intrusive, many business models rely on it to function. In fact, some of the most successful companies in the world are platforms that help other businesses advertise and reach customers.

In this episode, I explore how design can shape the fate of a company through a powerful real-world story. A brand is not just built through marketing, but through the way people experience and connect with its products. Using Apple Inc. as the central example, I break down how a designer, Jony Ive, played a key role in transforming the company during one of its most critical phases. From near col...

In this episode, I talk about how branding actually works through a simple perspective. A brand is not just what a company says, it is what people feel and understand over time. Using Royal Enfield as an example, I break down how something that can be seen as a weakness can be reframed into a strength. From being called outdated to becoming timeless, this shift shows how perception plays a major r...
