“We all have two lives, the second one starts when we realise we only have one.”

…and this is my second life.

I am currently embarking on a new journey as a creativepreneur. I am on a mission to change the venture capital landscape at @amoiventures and chasing my creative pursuits at @amoistudio.

You're now in my digital garden where you can find an archive of my work, writings, thoughts, resources, etc. I mostly write about entrepreneurship, personal development / mindset and lifestyle design. I also share my personal stories on overcoming life adversity, experiences living 6,549 miles away from home as a Malaysian Chinese in the UK, and my daily life as corporate girly working as a Big 4 consultant.

I am passionate about helping others and building companies. When I'm not building, I enjoy being creative. I love expressing myself through writing and art. I also enjoy adventure and wilderness, traveling and a foodie at heart.

My aspiration is to find my voice, inspire others and be an agent of change. I'm an advocate for female empowerment, gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, and mental health.
