In 2025, I aim to step out of my comfort zone by deepening my knowledge in UI/UX and video editing/animation. I also want to focus on finding balance and spending more time outdoors engaging in activities.

Sandra Park

Senior Product Designer

In 2025, I’ll try to focus more on the positives and less on the uncertainties. I tend to worry a lot about things that I have no control over, so for this new year, I hope to gain more control over the negatives.

Vicky Choy

Principal Product Designer

I would like to focus on my health for 2025. I will go to bed before 12 and get at least 7-8 hours of rest each night. My other goal is to drink more water - at least 5 cups of water or tea each day. Can I count my coffee as 1 cup?
