1
Hi, my name is Marissa, and welcome to my source materials.
2
Have you guys ever seen this?
3
Okay, this looks like just a regular box, but it's not.
4
This is a vanity.
5
Growing up, I wanted one of these so badly, but my mom wasn't really into buying me girly things,
6
so I would just grow up playing cards with my little brother.
7
Now that I have adult money, I just want myself one.
8
I just love all the little compartments.
9
There's a drawer, and then you just keep opening.
10
There's this, it keeps going.
11
I don't know who approved of this many drawers, but it's great.
12
I love the little surprises.
13
Like, you guys would not believe this. And here, too.
14
I just really love objects that like reveal themselves.
15
And I think as a designer, good interfaces don't always reveal themselves at once.
16
Like they kind of reward curiosity.
17
I love designing moments where people are like, wait, there's something else.
18
Wait, there's another layer to it.
19
It's like a little good like Easter egg moment.
20
It's the anticipation.
21
That's what it is.
22
I love a good buildup.
23
I first got this book because I just really like the green.
24
Very performative of me, I know.
25
But it turned out to be one of my favorite books.
26
I really like this book because there have always been women building cool things in tech.
27
Mindy is such an amazing person.
28
I love that she cares about the internet culture enough to just document everything.
29
Most of us women don't always end up in history books and I love that this book is the opposite of that.
30
Okay, next item.
31
This has a very special place in my heart.
32
So this is my elementary school lunchbox, and it's called Pinto in Thai, which means like three -tiered lunchbox.
33
There was this sense of like surprise and like anticipation.
34
What do I get to eat today?
35
And it kind of just depends on my grandma, and I just love the sound of this rice and stir -fried as a top.
36
And then the middle one, sometimes she would pack soup or noodles or a side of vegetables.
37
Bottom layer is my favorite.
38
She would pack a sweet treat on my lucky days.
39
I realize I don't like my food touching because of this.
40
Yeah.
41
And then this next book is The Tree of Coats.
42
This book couldn't exist as a PDF file, and that's the reason why I love this book so much.
43
There are words cut out, and it's so delicate.
44
You have to be so gentle flipping through the pages.
45
It's also such a fun take on negative space as well.
46
So I've been into hardware recently.
47
This is a makeup cyber deck.
48
I put grass on here just so that, you know, touch grass.
49
It has a keyboard, a mouse, and I'm gonna put a screen on here.
50
So just imagine there's a screen here for now.
51
Cyberdeck is kind of like an upcycled computer.
52
You take apart the computer that you know, and then you put it into an unexpected medium.
53
It's like a little eyeshadow palette inspired by that little vanity box.
54
And then I also have a drawer with all the makeup brushes.
55
I've just been seeing so many cool girls building Cyberdex.
56
I'm like, I want to learn how to do that.
57
Once I figure out the electronics, which is the hardest part, this is the brain of the Cyberdex.
58
It's a Raspberry Pi.
59
It's the brain of the operation.
60
So I need to figure out how I want to mount it on.
61
I'm going to put a Zoom meeting on here.
62
I can do my makeup and like take my meetings at the same time.
63
I also started watching like
64
Totally Spies not too long ago.
65
And they have like a little makeup compact and I would call their boss on their makeup compact.
66
So I was like, why not?
67
Why don't I?
68
Yeah.
69
I love it though.
70
Like I just needed a break from like vibe coding.

Don't mind me, I'm just gonna plan my next side quest on here.
73
This book is about how to wrap five eggs.

Like how do you keep something cool?
77
How do you keep something warm?
78
Like how do you make sure it commutes well?
79
I just love flipping through these pages.
80
It's just... So pretty.
81
All of these packaging are like natural materials too.
82
Mostly bamboo, like wood and ceramics.
83
Yeah, I'm such a hoarder when it comes to like packaging.
84
And that's when I know it's good packaging design because I don't want to throw them away.
85
Let me introduce you to my pencil case.
86
Every button does different thing.
87
This one opens a pencil sharpener.
88
You can sharpen your pencil.
89
And then this is also a compartment.
90
Sometimes I would put like tringets in here, friendship bracelet necklace situation.
91
And this would be my class schedule.
92
But then sometimes I would put like cheat codes on here.

Have a good cry and then go on and like design

and build like the most ridiculous idea I've had in my head for a long time.
104
This tear off calendar, my grandparents always had one in their house.

I just feel like it's so special that you get to hold a day in your hand.
108
Everything is on Google Calendar, and it's just another day.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
