about Diaries of a Work in Progress
Ultimately, I’m just someone who wants to do good for the world. I’m currently (1) figuring out what that means and (2) building the skills to do so. Diaries Of A Work In Progress was started in 2025 to document my journey; to create a home for my operational case studies and storytimes. Think of this as my work journal.
So far, my path has taken me through co-founding Riverbed Collective (an artist-led social enterprise who’s worked with 200+ artists and counting) and onto the steering committee of the Hong Kong Women in Publishing Society.
