The Leap into Moonscape
The Big Decision
I did it. I quit my job.
No, it wasn’t one of those dramatic “flip the desk and walk out” moments. I loved my job and my bosses, but the call of something bigger—scarier—louder—pulled me in a direction I couldn’t ignore.
Entrepreneurship was calling. And I answered.
Leaving my Comfort Zone (and my Paycheck)
Let’s rewind a little. My job at AP Capital was great. My bosses, Mr. Chiu taught me how to be decisive when things got tough, and Ms. Yang saw potential in me even when I couldn’t. Honestly, leaving a place where people believed in me wasn’t easy.
But something kept nagging at me—a tiny voice whispering, “You’re ready for more.”
At first, I told that voice to sit down and chill because, hello, COMFORT ZONE! But you know how it is with those little voices. They get louder. More persistent. Until one day, you find yourself writing a resignation letter with tears in your eyes and a lump in your throat, thinking, “Am I seriously doing this?”
Spoiler alert: I’m stepping into 2025 without a full-time job.
Why "Moonscape"?
Now, let’s talk about the moon. My connection to it isn’t just metaphorical—it’s literally in my name. Growing up, the moon symbolized creativity, courage, and all the wild, impossible things humans can achieve when they dream big.
For me, Moonscape Design Studio isn’t just a business. It’s a launchpad. A place where creativity meets courage to solve real-world problems. Think of it as a design studio with a touch of stardust.
The goal? To generate ideas, to create designs that aren’t just pretty but actually work—making complex things simple and helping businesses (or my businesses) grow in the process.
A bit about Me (the Chief Moonscaper)
I wasn’t always a designer. I started off in coding, but let’s just say that coding and I didn’t vibe. So, I taught myself Graphic Design in 2012 (gosh, can you guess how old am I now), diving into aesthetics like a kid in a candy store.
What began as a passion for “making things look cool” quickly turned into an obsession with solving problems through design. In 2017, I moved into Product Design, where I got to tackle challenges that combined creativity with strategy.
Then in 2019, to work better with the team, I completed my Bachelor of Degree in Coding and Business, determined to bridge the gap between design, development and business.
Fast-forward to 2023, and I’m running entire product lifecycles as a Product Manager. It was rewarding, sure, but deep down, I knew I wanted something more. I wanted to create something from scratch. Something that’s mine.
And that’s how Moonscape was born. Ta-da-daaaaa~
