Sitting down for a virtual meeting with Sapta was like hitting the refresh button on my design mindset. In a world full of fluff, he keeps it 100 - clear, concise, and real. We unpacked the maze that's been bugging me as a designer, team player, and budding leader. He's got this way of peeling back the layers, ditching the sugarcoat, and serving up the straight goods on creating a vibe where designers can sling feedback without fear. We got into the grit of passion and its wild cousin, addiction, and how to keep the team pumped and feeling seen. Thank you, Sapta, for sharing your insights on how real leadership transcends titles and is rooted in authentic connections and driving change from the bottom up. Your genuine approach is truly inspiring, and our conversation felt like unlocking essential knowledge for growth. The design community is lucky to have such a strong advocate in you.
