Rahul Desai Thinking Space

What is your current profession and how did you choose your career path?

I loved painting since when I was a child. Advertising attracted me. The combination of painting and advertising is a very fascinating thing

I studied in India and then in Georgia. And after that, I came here, to the great NYC to work. I'm a graphic designer at ScogoMedia.

I love create new stuff every day, new solutions, new design.
Every place I lived left me with new inspiration: Indian landscapes, the Southern quaintness and landscape of Georgia, the New York City skyline, different moods and different people.

Where did you grow up? How did it influence who you are today? 

I was born in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. it's a "mid size" city, not small neither big. It's a green city, full of nature and it offers you a lot of inspiring landscapes. The name of the city itself is a name of a tree.
These landscapes are painted in my mind. Nature is a great inspiration source for everybody

What are you passionate about, outside of work?

I relax listening a lot of music. it's my passion. 

What was the last thing that made you laugh?

A movie...Hangover

Why have you chosen this as your thinking space?

I'm paid to be creative...and this is my office. Unluckily people can enter ...but I'm working to keep them outside!
For me is very important to stay alone, when I'm alone I think, I create the best

MY THINKING SPACE 

Can you tell us about the different objects featured in your Thinking Space: what is the story behind each object? Is it of unique significance to you? What does it tell us about you? How would you feel if it went missing?

The important things are in my mind, the objects that surrounds me are only useful things (and sure the most usufull one are my Mac and Tortilla Chips)....if I must choose and object without I can't live...I think it's my iphone. I stay a lot of time reading news and connecting with my friends.

Do you have any favourite blogs or other websites that you check out regularly?

My website: www.adsoftheworld.com. I read sometimes blogs....but I haven't enough time to spend on it...to have a favorite one.

Do you have your own Spotify playlist or any other playlist? Who are your favourite artists, soundtracks?

I love Bollywood music. My favorite artist is Kishor Kumar
