Thank you for 100K subs on YouTube! My channel, Aliena Cai, has come a long way since my review video on the Google UX Design Certificates. Now, I'm a designer running a one-person business. Today, I'm super excited to share that I've made an $11,500 USD donation to the charity GiveInternat, and I encourage you to set up a monthly donation too.

As a product/UX designer working in big tech, I see talented, hardworking, and ambitious people all the time, myself included. However, it's very common for us to get caught up in our bubble and forget that the world is much bigger and that we are all connected. I believe that being unable to look beyond one's own benefit will forever hold one back. Doing good is not a sacrifice; it's a requirement for long-term success. Doing good is rewarding and empowering.

Thank you for your support and love. I'm excited to keep sharing design and life lessons here on YouTube. Meanwhile, I'm thrilled to start my email list, Trillion's Cafe, and my design agency!
