Sometimes I get caught up doing the same thing all the time, so I like to tackle a different design problems to keep my perspective fresh. I took on creating an app to match coworkers looking to play ping pong together.

Did a 30 min exercise reimagining Pepsi as the PBR of soda. The moodboard (comprised of images from Flickr and Dribbble):
Just wrapped my first webinar on the topic of infographics. After spending years as an in-house designer, it was great to share all the ideas and insight I'd long wanted to offer to clients and non-designers.
The presentation was for the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT), Center for Health Leadership (CHL), UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

I make a few points that aren’t in the deck:
I heard back from the meeting presenter and she said that I specifically got a ton of positive and glowing feedback from their post-presentation survey. :)
I’m Chinese American and while I'm not terribly superstitious, lately I've taken to thinking of each year as a different beast, full of new lessons and opportunities to learn different ways to approach challenges. This lunar year is the Year of the Wood Horse. Inspired by this article, I plan to imagine this year as a galloping horse; a force for change, inspiration, and positive energy:
The Horse is asking us to appreciate [life’s] changes and advance from them. The energy of this upcoming year will NOT support you if you choose to be a victim. You must become the change you wish to see in the world. We are all connected and the simple acts of changing your attitude and behavior will have a great impact. Be grateful and be mindful with all your actions and you will find that the horse will respond to you with great speed and exhilaration.
Happy new year!
