A place where keeps the happy moments…

This year I tried a few Gen-AI tools for work and for fun, be it text-to-audio, text-to-image, or image-to-video, they are very productive and creative to a designer. The most interesting one is the game intro video that I made for the year-end team reflection, images and voices are generated from Gen-AI tools and I only need to edit them on After Effects. It’s really fun!

Complete an amazing course. Key takeaway – asking employees questions instead of providing solutions, asking question about process instead of details, facilitating employees instead of judging them.

Previously I spent fair amount of time designing illustration for presentation, those days are gone with Midjourney’s imagination ability. Now I can really focus more time thinking about the topic itself. Time saving. 👍

I’m impressed with Midjourney’s quality and speed. It would take me hours to make these, but with AI now, I can get them in just seconds ⚡️

It was 7 months ago that I started this data science course. I almost spent all my past weekends studying probability, simulation, decision trees, predictive analysis and other topics related to data-driven decision making. As a designer it is a challenging but worthwhile progress.

Stay curious and keep learning new things. 😎

It’s a Candle Making Day 🕯🕯

29 Aug 2021

From today till the following 6 months, I’ll be studying Practical Decision Making Using Data Science by NUS Business School Executive Education.

I’ve been keen on learning Data Science since 2 years ago. While WFH, It’s a good timing to have a systematic study on it and I can’t wait to open the door to explore the charm of Data Science! 🤟

Made this little vase in the creative day. It’s so interesting that the clay model becomes pottery at temperatures about 1000 F. My wife loves it very much.
