Jayman Pandya – Anxiety, Depression & Business

Jayman Pandya is a UI designer with a flair for front-end development that makes any brand shine at what they do best. Jayman owns an Indo-US based web agency called Interactive Digital Labs. He spends much of his time investing in the WordPress Community.

Jayman is part of the Design and Marketing Teams for Make WordPress and has spoken at his local camps on Gutenberg as well as the importance of user experience. He is not intimidated by markup, languages, or tools: HTML to CSS, wire-framing to prototyping, JavaScript to agile development, and design programs including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

Jayman loves languages, and not just programming either. He speaks English, Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati. When he’s not taking courses to improve his skills, he’s trying new food, dabbling in filmmaking and photography, and running and cycling.

About the Session:

Anxiety and Depression are the two words that are thrown around every day in the tech world. People send out tweets expressing their demons partially or fully, people send out tweets asking people to open up about the demons. Conferences ask people to share their stories and here I want to share my story.

A story of a boy with a lonely childhood, bad relationships, failed friendships and attempted suicide. A story of a man who today stands strong and firm and has got back his life, found a partner, lives with his family again and is building a business he is passionate about.

I would want to share how I went into the deep abyss of Anxiety and Depression and tried to kill myself before climbing back up and doing what I do, how I do and who are the supporting pillars of my life.
