About
hi, I’m Yi Hui ✨
I'm a (software) product manager by profession, having transitioned from digital marketing. I also do other things:
- Write and reflect on my experiences on my blog
- Write my other newsletter about life lessons learned through anime
- I’m Notion certified! That means I get to show off my Notion Essentials badge (and help you with Notion stuff, of course).
- Past: Build (no code) projects, such as:
On being online
I’m an internet native, ever since I was 12. My early internet rabbit holes were FanFiction, DeviantArt, Blogger/LiveJournal/Tumblr, and even built my own fan website (Avatar: The Last Airbender). 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.
It’s why I have my own online space to document and share my experiences, including growing a library of things, like an ongoing list of articles. I hope my space continues to grow into a comfy home that I can return to, 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.
I’m almost always down to learn and try new things. I gravitate towards things that nourish my creativity and mind-body connection.
- Photography and videography: I like taking photos and making videos, especially from my travels. Film photography included.
- Movies: My film diary
- Curation:
- Strength training and reformer pilates: Strengthening my back and core, aligning my body and mind.
- Walking: Especially walks in parks. One day I will venture into much longer trails (days-weeks) in nature.
So much more, such as home interior, styles, print publications, surfskating, and junk journaling. Lately, I’m getting into commonplace notebooks and hosting sessions/dinner parties.
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.
On introspection
I’d been living my many years in slow burn, tired of default narratives even though I dreamed about alternatives. I suppose it was “easier” than taking the risk to explore the unknown.
Only in recent years I started intensifying my introspection. From a consistent journaling habit to completing a 50-hour yin yoga training, making introspection my habit does help me to learn and think better, ultimately to be more in tune with my mind and body. I want to lead with more curiosity and an open mind, hoping to live my “authentic” self whatever that may be and know where to focus on energy on.
