From Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, comes a designer whose craft goes beyond visuals, itโ€™s about experiences, emotions, and impact.

Meet Aman Bhondekar, a UI/UX and Brand Designer who helps brands build meaningful identities through clean, user-focused design.

But his story didnโ€™t start with freelancing, it started with curiosity.

Aman began his career as a Graphic Designer at his first company, learning how ideas turn into tangible creative outcomes.

While exploring new opportunities, he started taking up small freelance projects on the side.

What began as a side hustle soon grew into something more, a path that offered freedom, ownership, and endless learning.

As projects became consistent, Aman realized the power of independent creation.

Freelancing gave him the space to experiment, connect, and build real value for clients.

โ€œThat steady flow of work and satisfaction of building something on my own, thatโ€™s what pushed me to go full-time,โ€ he shares.

One of his toughest challenges? Credibility.

โ€œIn the beginning, clients often choose experience over skill,โ€ Aman says.

He overcame it with persistence, by focusing on relationships, communication, and delivering more than what was expected.

Over time, referrals became his strongest portfolio.

Recently, Aman worked on a large-scale project for a leading education brand.

The project pushed his creative and strategic boundaries, and seeing it make a real impact was deeply fulfilling.

โ€œThat moment reminded me why I started, to design experiences that truly matter.โ€

โ€œStart small, but stay consistent.โ€

Every project, big or small, teaches something valuable.

Communicate clearly. Build relationships. Keep refining your craft.

โ€œItโ€™s not about overnight success, itโ€™s about growth, consistency, and learning.โ€

โ€œI like how Qwego celebrates freelancers as individuals with stories, not just profiles. Itโ€™s refreshing to see a platform focused on community, authenticity, and meaningful collaborations. It feels like a space where freelancers are truly valued.โ€

โœจ From small beginnings to impactful designs, Aman Bhondekarโ€™s journey is a reminder that freelancing isnโ€™t just work, itโ€™s a way to create meaning, one project at a time.
