Posted to How to “Remote User Test”, Jul 23, 2018 Posted to How often do you ask for reports from analytics?, in reply to Matt Willett , Dec 08, 2016 This is really helpful! Thanks!
Posted to Ask DN: Are you a dropout?, Jan 20, 2016 Self-taught. Had no background at all. Hell, I dont even know how to draw.
I was supposed to be the QA guy of our team until I have been given the task of designing a page in our app. Felt good while I was at it so I decided to pursue it.
Relied on books, articles, design talks, anything I can get a hold off. When I was not reading, I was on Illustrator or Photoshop or Sketch figuring things out. Everyday has been a learning process.
To see where I was two years ago to where I have gone today just goes to show that hardwork and dedication does pay off. Its a nice feeling.
Posted to Ask DN: How do you "audit" soft skills when interviewing designers? , in reply to Aaron Sagray , Jan 02, 2016 Many people who are terrible at the skill of interviewing end up being great at the skill of collaborating.

Posted to Ask DN: Why hide Medium posts on Designer News?, in reply to Daniel De Laney , Dec 28, 2015 With that being said, where can we pick up articles that are read-worthy?
Posted to Ask DN: Why hide Medium posts on Designer News?, in reply to Carl Yung , Dec 28, 2015 That's one way to look at it. High-five
Posted to ASK DN: What do you want to learn in 2016?, Dec 23, 2015 I'm torn between learning programming (Swift, Objective-C) and learning motion design.
Aside from those two, here are the things I will do come 2016:
Brush up my drawing skills 2d illustration/character rigging (for fun) Writing Photography
Here's to a wonderful 2016! Cheers~
