Hi everyone! If we haven't met yet, my name is Cynthia! I worked in commercial real estate in New York City for 3-4 years and decided to transition into tech to become a Product Designer! This past summer, I interned at a fast-growing startup in Seattle as a Product Designer. Let me take you through 3 typical days in my week.

People always ask me what I can't live without in the office, so here's a list:
- Ergonomic mouse "Lift" from Logitech:

- Water-proof mini backpack from Rains:

- Mechanical keyboard from Nuphy (my model which is Halo 75 is no longer available tho):

    We have the same mechanical keyboard c: Side note: People say being a content creator is easy cause it's usually compared to labor intensive jobs in which it's true content creation is easier. People don't like when others say it's a hard job cause it identifies privileged upbringing which is looked down upon.
