Week of February 9–15

< Part 1 >

I went to eat lunch my engineer co-workers at Yerba Buena Park for the very first time. This park is super lovely and I can’t wait to come back.

Mountain View

My first visit to Shoreline at Mountain View. As you may already know, I love nature in every way it can possibly show itself. It’s refreshing to my eyes. It’s goes beyond the screen.

Palo Alto

On my way to Mountain View, I passed by Palo Alto and visited Stanford while I was at it. Whoever is visiting should go visit their campus. They have a luxurious campus and I yet have to explore the interior.

“You don’t outgrow The Gates, you grow into them.”

This is a very meaningful quote and depending how you read you can reach a different meeting. I see it as, not looking back to the decision you make. Don’t regret them. It’s done. All we can do now is look ahead and learn from our mistakes. Think positively. I like to say it, “Metamorphosis!”

IxDA Independent Studio Walk

I visited few of my favorites: IDEO, Linkedin, and Cooper.

If only there was more time, I would have gone to them all. IDEO is one bigs names for their work. They spend a lot of time in their research and investigating their user throughly. They are most famous for their shopping cart design and everyone should look that up!

I met new friends! They are also graduates who are interesting in Design Strategies and work closely on the business side. It’s great to listen their what their program had to offer and the types of work they done. I wish had taken notes of the work they shared.

My next stop was the Linkedin. They had music and dj playing. People were super hyped about it. There San Francisco branch is amazing and would love to learn more.

Cooper is also one my inspiring favorite companies. Their work shows their strategy and a lot to learn from too!

On Friday, we visited FounderDating and received a lot of feedback about networking, side projects, and hurdles to come across as a startup.

Ended the lovely week with my roomates on Valentines Day!☺ We decided to visit Downtown to shop a bit and dine out.
