Work Week Rundown

No 2 work days are ever the same (thank god). Heading back to HK tomorrow for a busy and eventful week. I have a second meeting with an art mall, followed by VisionFirst's charity auction event 'Raise the Roof for Refugees'. Some of our designers generously offered their items for auction and for the VIP goodie bags. On Wednesday, I'll be dropping by the soft opening of 7Heaven, the new club in LKF we are having our pop-up event at on Thursday. And on Friday, we are meeting a startup that just opened their HK office. SUPER excited to discuss a potential collaboration opportunity!! Was ecstatic when we were told one of their managers was a huge fan of ZAOZAO. Moments like this make me giddy with glee! And after that, I only have a week to get everything together before I jet off to NYC! Counting the minutes!!

Counting Down

Best news this year: my ticket to NY has just been confirmed! Cannot believe I haven't been back since I graduated 5 years ago. I've been longing for a good enough reason to make the dreadful 16 hour trip to NY and now my wish has finally been granted (one of the best decision's we've made for work. More on this later)!

Part 2: San Francisco

I spent a few days in Silicon Valley this past week, to meet with potential investors, advisors, entrepreneurs, and friends. Have been in 3 different timezones in the last 7 days and am surprisingly feeling fine. Some photos from my travels to the heart of startup land, including tours of the famous Google and FB campuses.

ZAO US TOUR Part 1: VEGAS

While this is not my first trip to the city of sin, it is my first time touring the startup scene in las vegas. i type this entry as i eavesdrop on intelligent conversations about the future of zappos CEO tony hsieh's brainchild, the downtown project, sipping purposefully on my cappuccino in the beat cafe, the area's choice coffeeshop among the hipsters/young entrepreneurs.

some photos of DTLV and the Stitch Factory, a cool fashion incubator / co-working space / creative education center for designers and your average person alike. 

Everything around me screaming "America"...but despite being US born and bred, feeling like a sore thumb sticking out! Has 4 years in HK changed that? I'm moving on to San Francisco in a few hours, so we'll see about that.
