Let's have a conversation about personal finances! Money is an inherent part of life! It doesn't have to be a taboo topic. One of my favorite things to discuss is budgeting and how to go about it. When you're able to understand your money better, you're able to make decisions that help you achieve what you want to do in life. No this isn't a finance podcast, but hopefully some of these tidbits can be helpful on your journey!

Shifting careers isn't the easiest thing to do. There is a lot of unknowns involved in the process, but it's a very much a possible process. My name is Tien-Tien, and I'm a mass communications major turned designer based in Atlanta, GA. My journey into design was as untraditional. There were a lot of learnings along the way, and hope some of the tidbits that I gained can help others making that shift in their career.
