About

I'm Yi Hui. (Read here about how my name works)

I was a (software) product manager by profession, having transitioned from digital marketing. I'm a curious ambivert, drawn to both people and my solitude. I like being on the internet and touching grass (both literally and metaphorically).

Outside of work:

  • I write about my experiences and reflections on my blog
  • I also have a newsletter about life lessons learned through anime
  • I love Notion, so I became Notion certified! I get to show off my Notion Essentials badge (and help you with Notion stuff)
  • In the past, I built some (no-code) projects, such as:

Why internet home?

I’m an internet native, since I was 12. Some of my early internet rabbit holes were FanFiction, DeviantArt, Blogger, Tumblr, and even built my own fan website. I miss the era of “surfing the internet” when we weren’t absorbed with analytics, algorithms, and “content”. One day I hope to help build the internet that I want to see more of.

For now, I'm growing this space into a comfy home by documenting and sharing my things, and inspire others to create their own.

Other interests

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman

I’m almost always down to learn and try new things. I gravitate towards things that nourish my creativity and mind-body connection.

Some things I particularly enjoy:

  • Photography and videography: I like taking photos and making videos, especially my travels. I post some photos on Unsplash too. Sometimes, I do film photography.
  • Movies: My film diary
  • Anime & manga: My anime and manga diary
  • Curation:
    • Artsy boards: Art direction, interior design, other tastes etc.
    • Music playlists (These days: house)
    • And others on are.na.
  • Strength training and pilates: Getting stronger, aligning my body and mind.
  • Walking: To process, notice, and be present. One day, longer nature trails (days-weeks).

I used to be into "wellness" (part of the reason I did my Yin Yoga teacher training), but I felt it was better to do the basics and listen to my body, instead of keeping up with the trends.

I care about causes in climate change, intersectional feminism, and mental health. In the past, I used to volunteer at a local climate youth group and a women empowerment group.
