  • Automating file organization via PowerShell

    My process in sharing and archiving event media (aka the numerous pictures and videos that I take in various formal and informal events) is to, first, download the file from the memory card and sort them out according to the date and type of event. This is a tedious task especially if a batch consists…

  • Create Windows Documentation Folders

    As you know, I take pictures and they mostly go to archival, which for me, it is Flickr. But before those pictures get archived, I digitally process them locally, meaning, in my personal computer. I have a system of folders organized by months and weeks and days. You can imagine it’s tedious to create them…

    It’s been 2 months already since I’ve hit my 2-year mark in Avaloq.

  • It’s Gonna Be One Helluva July

  • Applying to On Deck Design Fellowship

    What experience has most impacted your career or identity as a designer? Many years ago, a fresh grad joined my team and asked a lot of basic questions about design such as information architecture, research, etc. And I didn’t know how to help that person because I was too focused on visual design at that…

  • My 1st Anniversary at Avaloq

    It was May last year when I virtually onboarded Avaloq. It was a time when most of us, office-goers, were adjusting to this “forced” setup of working from home. Consequently, everything needs to be done online. You had to double down on clear and proactive communication because the computer gets in the way of telepathy…
