Hello, world! I'm Hazel, you might have bumped into me on Hopin or YouTube. I was the first design hire at Hopin, and it was a dream come true for me. I always dreamed of collaborating with talented folks from around the globe while traveling, and now I'm living that dream.

The moment I finally met the real Hopineers after 3 years of working with them only through my computer screen! Yap, they do HAVE legs🦵!

My journey as a designer has been quite unique. I'm self-taught, without a university degree or studying abroad. Landing my dream job wasn't easy—I faced numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. Fun fact: I applied to 146 companies before landing my first global remote job! ☺️

I have a deep love for design, and I know I'll always be a designer at heart. Its definition varies for everyone, and as I navigate my design journey, my perspective keeps evolving. Currently, I see design as this incredible force for making things better—whether it's functionality, feel, or aesthetics. This journey of growth has not only honed my design skills but has also led to personal development through continuous learning and reflection.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such amazing talents. In gratitude, I've started sharing my knowledge and thoughts to support fellow designers in pursuing their dreams. My hope is that by sharing what I've learned, I can inspire others to make positive impacts in the world and foster a more supportive environment for other designers. 🌟

You can find me on YouTube, and I'm currently open to part-time opportunities in the surf, fashion, art, and mental health industries.
