02: Are we still into meet ups?
07/19/22 • 29 min
What do we all think of meet ups and networking now? We pondered, we surveyed, and now we're ready for the big reveal!
In Day 2, we are sharing insights gathered from multidisciplinary folks in Singapore across 5 categories - agenda, speaker/content, venue/space, food and audience/crowd. This episode will be enlightening to you whether you are thinking of organising your own event, or joining one.
Listen to Hsuan's peanut butter on Gardenia bread analogy (she was probably just hungry), and did Adilah managed to say FoF correctly? Also, find out to how we whipped up a new and promising career in Singapore - think SDA but for meet ups. 🤭

01: Just listen la
Ayeeeee! Hsuan and Adilah here! We're so excited to finally launch our first episode.
Today in Day 1 of Kiasu Design Life, we talked about what this podcast is as we share our motivation, plans and dreams. (We already have plans for Day 100 already..?)
If this still doesn't excite you, listen to us try to build our credibility by sharing our design experiences, how we met (and what FoF actually meant to Adilah -cough-), how 2 podcast fans journeyed to starting a podcast, and otters in longkang?!
We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

03: Fresh into UX - Letters to our younger selves
If we could write a letter to our younger souls fresh into the UX industry, what would it be?
In Day 3, we're retrospecting and getting raw this time as we dive into our past experiences along with the lessons learnt. Adilah shared her revelation and ways she differentiates herself as she graduated from bootcamp and into working world, whereas Hsuan revealed her (cool?) ah lian identity and how it may or may not help in her career.
We have also introduced a new segment called "Good Things Must Share" where we exchange some sweet ol' lobangs (colloquial for good deal).
