Kicking off the new year with a review! For the first time, I'm posting my annual review right on Jan 1st.

Learn from Building A Second Brain
Just finished reading "Building A Second Brain" by Tiago Forte. It's a profound piece that makes me rethink my note-taking tools & strategy. I've known Tiago Forte a while ago to apply the P.A.R.A organization method for Evernote but it wasn't the time when everyone talked about personal knowledge management (PKM). Here're 3 new mindsets that inspired me to change after reading Building A Second Brain: One big change after reading Building a Second Brain is treating note-taking apps as a knowled

2022 In Review & Life Update
As we bid farewell to the tumultuous year of 2022, it was a rollercoaster ride of both planned and unanticipated events. Amidst the ups and downs, I've set some goals for myself that I hope to achieve in the coming year. A exciting surprise for me this year was being a part of the Friends of Figma, Hong Kong community, where I got to meet new designers, friends and even future colleague! I set out the goal from last year without knowing how exactly to contribute more time to the design community
