Tell us a little bit about yourself!

I'm Yi Lin! I like to dabble in anything creative — writing, making videos, music, and more recently, ceramics ~ In the same vein, I majored in Communications and New Media and any opportunities to make meaningful connections or hear stories excite me!

What do you do at Friendzone?

I do marcomms and merch at Friendzone! I enjoy the flexibility that Friendzone provides in terms of being able to explore areas of work that I'm interested in.

My colleagues are also a big part of what makes work fun! It's rare to have colleagues that I can call friends and enjoy hanging out with outside of work, so I consider myself very lucky.

What’s your favourite quote about friendship?

"We don't build trust by offering help, we build trust by asking for it." - Simon Sinek.

A reminder that letting yourself be vulnerable and allowing others to show up helps build deeper friendships.

What's your favourite content piece you've ever worked on at Friendzone?

Friendship Lessons, a short video series we did featuring, well, lessons on friendships.

I learned a lot in the process about directing and planning shots, and discovered that filming such a series is hella tiring but fulfilling!

Shoutout to our ex-colleague John for teaching me the ropes of shooting and editing :-)

What's a friendship piece of advice everyone should know?

A tiny bit of initiative goes a long way! Even if it's just a short message checking in on how your friends are doing, or making it known that you would love to meet up.
