Best of 2022

Finally settling down for year review. Here're my best apps, products and films in 2022! Switching to Arc from Firefox in 2022 is the most delightful experience I've onboard. It has done a lot of rights as a new browser. Challenged existing browsers' mental modal with Profiles & Spaces. While Profiles handle our online identity (who are we browsing as), Spaces take care of our use case (what websites are we browsing together). It was steep learning curve that I took me awhile to understand and g

How Might We - Summer Blues

Hi Friends, Thank you for those who joined “Do You Know Design Systems” early this month. It’s been a privilege to organise and host in-person event for the community.

How Might We - Life Update

Hello friends, So here it goes, I started a new role as a product designer this month in a crypto company.

Hello JUXT friends, It’s been a while and I want to share what kept me so busy over the past few months. As mentioned in my previous issue, I have become a community moderator for Friends of Figma, Hong Kong and I have shifted my focus in running the community instead of contributing content to JUXT Design, which is a great thing as one of my key objectives was to involve in the design community in Hong Kong. We are now active on Discord with 200+ members now after 2 months! We have already orga

How Might We - Building Design Community in Hong Kong

Hello JUXT friends, It’s the end of the Q1 of 2022. Hope you have reserve some time to reflect on your progress so far. I treasure my blocked hour that I will spend on writing my own reflection. This month, I have joined Friends of Figma, Hong Kong as one of the community moderator, we organized our first kick-off event this month and it’s so great to meet new friends and contribute to the design community. Between blog, digital garden and my resources bookmarks, I found it took quite a lot of t
