Daphne Shen

I got my start in tech by accidentally signing up to a 9-day hackathon. I was so inspired by how passionate everyone was, and have since spent my career running ecosystem events, founding my own VR language learning startup, and scaling two high growth startups.

I'm a big believer of building systems and workflows that enable self-service and efficiency. There are so many no/low-code tools out there now that there’s almost no excuse to waste time on repetitive tasks.

I love playing around with new productivity tools in both my personal & professional life. Talk to me about my restaurant tracker in Airtable or how I do personal sprint planning in Notion! Despite all the tools I try, I’m still a big fan of the bullet journal method and that’s how I prioritise my day to day. My biggest tip is to learn the keyboard shortcuts of your favourite tools. You’ll save so much time!

My guilty pleasure is diving way too deep into internet culture and obscure hobby drama. I know way too much about esports and Twitch streamers than I should.

Outside of work, you’ll see me trying to beat my powerlifting PBs, attempting a new aerial hoop trick, walking my corgi, or signing up to fun art classes around Sydney with friends.
