Two months ago I wrote my last set of weeknotes. TWO BLOODY MONTHS! There’s no point even calling them weeknotes anymore so I have decided to just let this be a bit of an update whenever it feels right. Three magical memories, two chunky challenges and one life lesson. Have a read ⬇️ — Three magical memories ✨ Wild times in Manchester. Being back in Manchester has been absolutely wild. Networking events, gym sessions, clubbing, house parties, spa days, meeting old friends and I even tried a bit of speed dating — a story for another day 😂

2022 Weeknotes by Chan #02 — *Update from last week* Short one for me. I was faced with a hefty migraine which knocked me out for two days straight — alongside an added sparkle of relocating cities, setting up bills and a good old weekend trip to IKEA. Here are my top three stories of the week: Peace, at last. On the days where my migraine didn’t attack me, I actually spent some time exploring my new place. Based in the lovely Salford, the apartment I now live in is very snazzy and an incredible value for…

2022 Weeknotes by Chan #01 — First week of 2022, gone in a second. Before we know it, 2023 will be here 😂 It’s been a week of goal setting, lovely catch ups and me saying ‘Happy New Year’ like 10000 times. Here are my top five stories of the week: Veganuary, I tried. Congrats to me. I have been vegan for a full seven days. I messed up not too long ago, tempted by some calamari, soon realising that I am not built for the vegan life. One thing I have learnt to appreciate though, is the art of intentional eating. Before every…

My highlights of 2021 ⭐️ — WTF. 2021 is almost over? I cannot cope with how fast these years are flying, especially this one. I just turned 28 too, still questioning whether I should be counting these extra years during Covid or if I should remain 26 for life 🤔 Here are my top five highlights of the year: Having a wild time in Dubai. Believe it or not, I only just got back from a 2-week break in the stunning Dubai. It was all about the number 50 this year — UAE celebrated its 50th year of independence so every single day was bustling with grand events, fireworks and music. It was also my…

Weeknotes by Chan #17–20 — Another three weeks have flown by and today I am celebrating my 20-week anniversary of writing week-notes 😱 An absolute game-changer for my brain so again, a massive shout out to Gaz Aston for getting me going on these. Here are my top ten stories from the past few weeks ⬇️ Start your Monday with a Motive. Every Monday at dxw, we have a quick-fire check in where the team share a picture of the weekend, one main goal of the week and something were looking forward to or fearing. The past few weeks have picked up massively with lots of new faces topped with a bunch…

What a week! New opportunity is the perfect way to sum it up. New projects, new connections, new environments - every little moment was a breathe of fresh air. Here are my top five stories from the last week: (This one’s a good’ un 😉) Design community champs #DCC Remote working has impacted us…

Oh gosh, another month has flown by and my week-note has now slowly developed into a month-note! This month has been a hectic, yet peaceful one. …

Happy Monday! It’s been a while ☀️ — What a month. Yes, you read right. A whole bloody month since I posted a weeknote. Work has been so busy (the productive kind) and I have been smashing my way through projects. …

One word to sum up my week. Fast. A week full of moving projects, rapid prototyping and speedy planning sessions, but also my most productive week of the year too. Here are my top five stories of the week: Sketch, design and test. Me and my team at dxw kicked-off a sprint with Mind…
