aww thank you guys for the overwhelming support in the comments on this video!! im feeling so excited & supported, and cannot wait to sharing my journey with you all!!
Welcome back Maisy! I’ve been supporting your channel and Etsy for years and will continue to do so. I’m very private as well, but I do love learning about new things and ideas just as passionately as you. Stay true to yourself. I need to learn to make my own matcha drinks instead of buying it. Lol.
I'm glad I came across your channel. It's great to get to know you a bit. And you're an inspiration to me. I have so many interests and you've confirmed that I need to release my anxieties and keep moving forward.
As another Asian American who's also in engineering (cloud), there's always people who don't take us seriously or look down on us, but I've learned over the years to focus on the great people around me and try to shut the others out. I can't imagine the daily toll that hate comments and cyber bullies have, but we love your corner of the internet and hope to continue our support. Thanks for what you do and stay cozy 🙏🏼😊
Hey take it easy. You know, I'm in cloud/data and it's not only Asians it affects. People are just people, but Its difficult for some to understand though. As has always been the case good people are rare. Many companies talk up the team, but everyone has their own agenda. The bottom line is, you gotta stay away from negative energy as much as possible in a work situation and in life in general. 😊
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. As a fellow woman in tech, I understand the gender bias and struggles. I really enjoy your videos and used them as inspiration for creating my own cozy home office.
Maisy as someone who also struggles with being a bit reserved but loves genuine connection + has a huge admiration for a cozy lifestyle, you and your personality are such an inspiration to me! Not just by the beautiful aesthetics you create but the personality and intention behind your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and interests with us, it means more than words can say. Also, we would love any content you worked to share with us, piano videos already sound so interesting. ❤
girl i love your content a lot, you are truly an amazing creative person. as a fellow girl interested in the same stuff, it is soo nice to see a cozy content creator who does coding, design and own a business while also enjoying playing games and having an extreme cozy aura that just make you relax. and please don't worry about being reserved or private some people just appreciate a bit of themselves for themselves, i honestly consider it a way of expressing self love.
A lot of people, including myself, have different interests. We were told from young age to stay focused and that we can only pick one thing and sacrifice the rest. By being so determined to blend your interests together and put your work out there, you’re helping us see the possibilities. Thank you for doing that. Also appreciate that you’re opening up. Definitely want to get to know you more in the future! Of course at your pace. I wasn’t sure if its appropriate to ask you personal questions.
I 100% agree with not confining yourself to "labels" such as the MBTI personality types. People are much more complicated and dynamic to confine themselves to specific labels.
The vibe of your videos has had such a positive impact on my life as I work through my own trauma. I also was one of two girls in my mechanical engineering program (thought I’d be safe being a tomboy / misogynistic pick me tbh) and ended up switching majors. Had a rude awakening when I started working too. I feel you and I’m so so glad you’re here making videos :’) 💕 In those moments where your brain starts lying to you, remember that I 100% promise you your work means a lot to so many of us, and it’s important and needed in this world! You’re inspiring 💕
Thank you for giving us a warm and cozy videos, I always feels like healing when I watch your videos and I admire how you learn software engineering and design by yourself. It's not easy to be self taught but you made it. Don't be afraid to be yourself, you're a great person and be proud of it.
as a male i like computers i code gender shoudnt stop you from that you love people who are sexist are just mad that they dont have the sucsess woman have
What a lovely video! It's so sweet how you talk about Tristan. I've also always appreciated how you call out all the racism and sexism for what it is. Big fan!
When you shared the anxieties and doubts you experience, I was honestly surprised because you seem like you are a huge shining light. You’ve definitely inspired me and encouraged me in videos before. I’ve gone through so much of what you described, you’re not alone, just let the bullying end internally and don’t judge yourself. Nothing external can touch you when you’re your own biggest fan! Being on the internet can make us into our own worst critic. Embrace every part of who you are and don’t let the lies dull your shine. Yes to all the personal/piano/match videos to come! 💚
that last message for your 15-year-old self resonated a lot to many people, including me right now though I'm older than you are right now, thank you for making meaningful and cozy videos. would love to see that matcha videos soon ❤
Hey, just sending a little support. I've been cyberbullied so many times over the last ten years and it does take a toll. You're amazing and I'm grateful for how you share your talents.
Hi Maisy! I've been watching your videos for about a year...? now and your channel has grown so much in that short period of time. That alone shows how many people love watching your videos. I always find your videos very relaxing, cozy, and inspiring. There will always be people who bring negativity, and that's about them not about you. Just know that there are way more people who support and love your work (even if they never comment, I rarely comment on videos too). Thanks for putting yourself out there, being vulnerable, and sharing your journey with all of us. 💗And always take care of yourself and your mental health first!
Thanks for being yourself ❤ and showing yourself. If you never read it, I love the book: "Your Rainforrest Mind". Cheers from a fellow composer, creative, entrepreneur and engineer.
I know the tech industry some people don't take our job seriously, but I think you are brilliant. As someone who loves designing and work as a web developer, I really appreciate your videos, you inspire me a lot
I enjoyed watching this video, Maisy. It’s been so fun watching your journey and how you have grown and evolved. Your process and being open about it, but also keeping things to yourself as everything is not our business. Those things are precious and have no use to us other than for people to be nosey and create their narrative. But everything else you choose to share is so relatable, inspiring, and therapeutic. I can see your skin getting tougher with all the toxicity in this journey. For every one of them, there is someone who genuinely loves your work. It may be part of the job, but it’s not something you have to tolerate. You’re grounded and have your sister and Tristan and your dad with you! All of you have given me the energy I crave! Also, I’m way too into matcha now! Haha. Thank you, Maisy 🙏🏾🖤
Thank you for taking the time to make content it has brought me so much comfort! It has helped me immensely when creating my cozy desk setup and cozy lifestyle. I myself struggle with my mental health and I know life can be difficult and unpredictable. Give yourself the time and grace to heal and to feel. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable with us and seeking us out now that you are feeling a little bit better.
Not to be selfish… for me, you’ve had a very subtle yet lasting impact. About a year ago, I set out on an adventure to build my homelab (i’m also a cs person). After looking at all the different sff cases I fell in love with the one in your videos. Actually, that’s how i ran into your content. Although I couldn’t get my hands on that case and settled for something else, i decided to keep watching. I think your aesthetic and calm energy in the videos kept me around. After a year has passed and i’ve been watching your content every so often, i realized you’re the reason i started making my own matcha lattes. You’re also the inspiration to why i started working on my desk setup (making it more focused). As someone who can relate to some of your experiences of anxiety and guilt, i appreciate the videos you have created. In a way, the juxtaposition of the chaos in your personal life vs the content you put out is very telling of your character and your ability to endure. You’ve got the support structure and the right people. Thank you for the amazing content, and wish you the best! And we fans aren’t going anywhere so dw about us :)
Aww love this QA Maisy!! I love that you share your stories and more of you! I can definitely relate to a bit of your struggles and how determined you are. You’re so strong and inspiring! I’m glad you’re back! 😊💕
I just hope you know you are kicking ass in everything you do! Literally one of my favorite creators and im so happy you didn't let those past experiences limit you and became the amazing entrepreneur that you have become!
Yes! Matcha! Not just baking, matcha drinks too! Can't believe people bully you...just know that these bullies are bored and have no purpose in life. Your channel has been inspiring and uplifting. Thank you!
so glad you chose to share a little bit about you! it’s sweet to be able to relate to a creator i enjoy! keep listening to truth and put away the lies others and even you will tell yourself. good job resting! keep going ❤
I just saw your workspace clip on instagram & wanted to know more about your productivity. I jumped onto youtube & just fall in love with you as a person! Age of empire with my brother is my memory(so shock to hear anyone playing it😅) , being the only Asian in class is my past struggle too even in Australia. Thanks you for sharing your journey & putting yourself out there. Yes I want to hear your tips on working with family, Yes to all the videos you plan to make! Lots of support & blessing from down under Australia.❤️
Thank you so much for opening up! Your videos always bring me a sense of calm and joy. It is my comfort content whenever I feel like I want to slow down and remind myself to enjoy each moment and the space I spend my time in. Please don't let the negativity discourage you because I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. You are truly an inspiration for me and I can't wait to continue watching your journey 🤍
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It takes a lot for people to put themselves out there but it helps so many people see the real life behind creators. I can resonate a lot with the imposter syndrome as a software engineer. There are so many people in so many different stages of their life doing similar things. One really needs to ground themselves in their skills, their areas they're working on, and their own enjoyment. I enjoy seeing all your "cozy vibes" as it reminds me to bring enjoyment to my work without it all being business. I can focus on how I bring ME into my own workplace but also mental workspace. Thank you so much.
Maisy!! Thank you so much for answering the question I had :) - congrats on being full-time entrepreneur!! Sending lots of love and positivity!! 💓 I also LOVE kdramas and csdramas for relaxing and playing pvp games, so relatable! I love that you've been so open and sharing more about yourself! 😊
Hi Maisy. I'm Asian and I'm a woman coder. Your videos have been inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing and I feel less alone to know your channel. Good luck to all your future endeavours. ❤
New subscriber 👋 so I’m just getting started with your playlists but I would love some piano videos. Those would be so great to have on while I’m working! I’m a woman in tech so I feel you for the whole “if I was a guy would I be getting dismissed” thoughts. Most of the people I work with are good to me thankfully 😅. I’m in the process of researching how I want to design my home office and I am loving the vibe your office has! Thank you for sharing this Q&A and your videos 🤗
I feel really bad for the bad comments, I have been watching your videos for a long time and every time that I need some inspiration I watch your videos 💖💖💖💖
So many drops of wisdom. I love your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing. You seem like such a genuine, down to earth person and it’s crazy that there are people who want to tear you down. But that’s life & you can’t control that. So just keep those blinders on and keep moving forward. You obviously have so many people who support what you do and need content like yours. 💜 I’ve recently transitioned into a front end dev role and your desk setup at home is my dream hahaha
Take everyone who bully you as a blessing. Because out of bullying there’s a breakthrough and outcome. Maybe without bullying you wouldn’t be the person you’re now. I did experience a lot of racism as well growing up Asian, maybe not so much on bullying but it bothers me a lot. I’m only extroverted when I’m interacting with other Asian.. Also without racism and sexism maybe you wouldn’t be an entrepreneur today, so look at bullying as an opportunity .
I know how you felt. I experience similar when I was high school where 99% of the students are white. The feeling of I'm nothing and constantly getting ignored lasts so long. When I started working it kinda turned the other way around. I've never experience any sexism/racism or got bullied :)
As a half asian I didn't have friends at my first secondary school, and got bullied. Moved to a selective private school and still didn't have any friends for the first two years. Started realising there must be something about me, not just the school. Maybe I just wasn't confident enough to fit in with either the cool or normal crowds, or asian enough for the full-asian crowd. Luckily in 6th form someone from the asian crowd took an interest in me, invited me to sit with them at lunch and my life improved immeasurably. A lot of the conversation was in Korean, but there were others in the group who didn't speak Korean too and so we weren't completely left out 🙂🙂
way to 500k? naaah way to milions!!! i really apreciate your videos and love the vibe. youre such an awesome person and i want to know about u more. Stay cozy!! + i would really like to see some way of starting a business as an entepreneur. love u, bye 🤍
Hearing your story makes me realize that you are strong! Please do take care of yourself! and oh! I am interested in seeing you make your matcha recipes and also anything related to your piano.
Hi Maisy I was writing down stuff in my notion for planning me and heathers Business and I put a time line on the calendar in notion to make sure we get everything done ✅ in a timely manner ❤😊
It broke my heart to hear you were bullied and still receiving sexist and racist comments. Just wanna send you a virtual hug. I love your videos. I have your channel in my top bookmarks bar, because it's my go-to when I need something soothing but also interesting to watch or just listen to. You've had an impact on me, just by sharing your experience and yourself with us.. it made me think more about who I am and how I wanna live my life and I'm really grateful for your channel. I wish you all the best with every endeavour on your path.
I just recently found you from your aesthetic gaming setup on my tiktok, and then your shorts showed up on my youtube and now I'm here! I love all of that stuff and it's nice to get ideas from.
Hello Maysi, I am currently studying systems engineering and I love design a lot, what you do inspires me a lot, I love the idea of being able to mix the two things and as you said being able to bring an idea to life, I would love to be able to do it in the future. I hope you keep uploading more videos, you are a great inspiration for many and it also helps us to learn. Cheers and I send you greetings from Argentina.
Maisy you are an inspiration (especially for us women breaking into tech). Your vision and way of doing tech motivates me a lot. Please keep on enjoying your journey and sharing it with us. Love u a lot and wish you the best.🥰
Love to get to know you a bit better! I think it’s so brave to make such personal q&a‘s for UA-cam or the internet in general! I really love your channel and your content! Please give us more of your piano content I would love to see it! Big supportive love from Germany
hey Maisy! love your return as a q&a - i relate a lot to what you were saying about being "obsessed with something one week and over it the next" and i thought i was so alone in feeling that way. love learning more about you but also totally understand the importance of boundaries, especially in our hyper-connected world. looking forward to seeing what you come up with next 🤍
Thank you for being honest about your work ethic and the issues of race and gender in the IT industry! I know there are people all over the world like you who want to find their place in the world. You are a UA-camr who inspires everyone. Please continue to take care of yourself and your family and keep sending out great videos! :)
Hello Maisy: Congratulations on your success and for growing a studio with your family. I am glad that I found your channel and find your videos very enjoyable. I believe that you are genuine. I also notice that you are very savvy at building a lifestyle brand. However, there is part of me that is concerned that the subtlety of how you show things and talk about things can definitely make people feel that if they don't spend $65 on a phone stand or $1,300 on a desk that you clearly must have received for free, that they can't achieve the cozy productive life that you have. I would appreciate it if you could also speak to the more approachable ways to achieve those goals without buying buying buying. It's a lot of pressure to put on your fellow 20-somethings for them to think that they have buy what you have been given (or possibly bought yourself sometimes) to have an aesthetic, worthwhile, and lovely life. Maybe even share what percent of the items in a video you paid for vs. given. Transparency would go a long way for total authenticity. Just some food for thought.
Loved the video! Welcome back! Your story of how you became an engineer and designer is literally how i feel rn. The tought of creating something ppl can use is fascinating. Of course we care about you! Funny cuz i am 15 and i want to do so much. I do wonder if i can find some kind of online job. Besides i also learn to play guitar and maybe someday piano too! Remember that bullies reflect their own insecurities on you and they are just jealous. They simply just don t have what to do with their own tragic sad pathetic life. You are truly an inspiration
What you’re saying really resonates with me. I feel like my brain also needs the different stimulus, but I’m not always able to satisfy it, probably because of lack of planning. Watching you talk about your life and journey is very inspiring and helpful because before I didn’t have anyone I could learn from, and I want to learn from you and bring those life tools into my own life. I almost see you as a mentor! Having ADHD and being on my own (family/parents wise) makes it hard for me to build a life that works for my brain and that is good for my mental health. No one gave me the tools and I didn’t know how to human. But first your helped me hugely with my office space at home, which was incredibly important for my mental health as I went freelance and started working only from home, and now with life in general. When the imposter syndrome strikes again, remind it that your videos are truly helpful and inspiring to people like me.
Also, I’m really sorry you had to go through all the bullying. I was bullied too, although for different reasons. Remember that you have a great community that appreciates you 💖
The best come back to any hate is your success. Success is not easy. No one can give you success. Its earned, and for your the proof is in the matcha pudding. So to speak.
I loved this video. It’s great to know more about you and your background, both personal and professional. Your videos are very inspiring and calming for me, and thanks to this one now I think you give a more authentic vibe. I struggle with being authentic myself and show my feelings, thoughts and interests not only online, but also in real life and this video and all the support you got from your community made me think about how lovely and cool is to have the courage to show yourself and discover that there’s always someone that you can connect with. ❤
I enjoy watching your videos❤️ Especially throughout my chemotherapy 😔 But now I’m cancer free😊 Thanks to you I entertain my self and admire your time and dedication for us viewers 😊
I'm so sorry that you have experienced so much racism and hatred. There are so many miserable people out there who are just jealous of your accomplishments and your life. Even though I know it's hard, please don't let them stop you from doing the amazing things you've been doing. You deserve all of the success that comes your way because you worked hard for it.
I don't say much but I watch your videos all of the time because they're so calming. I also love the relationship you have and Tristan have with your sister. It's very beautiful. I would love to hear your piano compositions. Piano is something I always wanted to learn but never did. So, I'm definitely looking forward to that. You're an awesome young lady who is a great role model.
Maissyy huhu haters hating on you is just living proof that you've made it (at least from my perspective). You're amazing and my inspiration TT I really gravitate towards the "wanting to create ideas" and not just code or design, i felt that TT Thanks so much for your videoss, keep it up!
I’m super interested in your piano compositions!! Please post them❤ I look up to you a lot as I am currently in college for engineering. Having a cozy setup has made me way less anxious:)
I'm so happy to see how far you've come from school. I love the story of your love story - very cute! I wasn't expecting to see a more personal video from you but I really enjoy hearing about you and youre life more. I'm here for all of it - just make sure you (and your family/team) are comfortable with what you share :) Joining the discord!
Been a huge fan of the channel for a year now. Your channel always calms me. Appreciate you and your family videos. Everyone brings something unique to the table. There will always be those who try to put you down, but honestly a lot of them are jealous… Grammatically and articulately in the way those who write hater comments obviously have no intellect or class. You will always rise above. Keep doing the videos. You are so awesome!!!! 🤘😎
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and feelings! The hard work you put in shows! I'm very grateful to have found your channel and will support you in whatever you do next:) Take care!
Thank you for sharing. You’re vibe and office setting inspire me when it comes to creating my own cozy space. As well as working toward my tech dreams! And I enjoyed the video you shared when you and your family took a trip to the city. 😊
Maisy, your videos are amazing, the editing, themes, colors, all of it! Haters project their own insecurities onto people that are accomplishing their own goals. It takes a strong person to deal with such hate, and that strong person is you! Your videos have inspired me to learn coding and more about tech. I'm excited to support more of and see the growth of your channel, business, and self-love journey!
Just found your channel and i appreciate all you’ve shared! I’m new to computer science and have been searching for inspiration from other poc women so it was beautiful to find your channel and hear you share about yourself ♥️♥️
Hey! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and other content so much ❤ I particularly enjoy watching your videos that show your design processes (like your yearly calendar) and how you’ve set up your calm and relaxing workspace. Thank you for always being so genuine and for the cozy vibes 🥰
I love your videos! You may not feel like you're impacting someone's life, but you have improved my days by watching your videos! Sending you much much love.
I’m so glad you took the break. The world is such a cruel place. Love your content and it helps me to push myself to believe in what I do. Love the idea of a matcha video! Would be amazing to see!!
I start everyday watching your videos. I have coffee and breakfast while I watch them. Your vibes are so positive and motivating. It's the perfect way to start the day. Thank you for being you 🌸
Maisy, I missed you a lot! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been watching and supporting this channel for almost a year and I would say, this channel brought a lot of knowledge and cozy vibes. Please do keep them and do more vlogs that you wanted to do and share with the people and disregard the bad vibes and focus on the cozy and good vibes. Always take care of yourself. Looking forward to all your future vlogs 💜💜💜
Wow 🤩 I hope I can work someday at Cozyleigh studios. You make such fantastic products. I drinkend matcha latte and it was so good 🍵. Can’t wait to see the new Zen collection 😊
Yes for Piano compositions! ;) Old Videos that had them as a background music were awesome because Piano music reallly fits the Aestetic visual aspect of your videos! ;)
Great video. As someone who worked in the software industry in Silicon Valley, I was sad to hear of the discrimination you encountered in your jobs in NYC. I was looking forward to your Zen MagSafe Charger, when is that going to come out?
aww thank you guys for the overwhelming support in the comments on this video!! im feeling so excited & supported, and cannot wait to sharing my journey with you all!!
Welcome back Maisy! I’ve been supporting your channel and Etsy for years and will continue to do so. I’m very private as well, but I do love learning about new things and ideas just as passionately as you. Stay true to yourself.
I need to learn to make my own matcha drinks instead of buying it. Lol.
Hey Maisy! Love your content. Could you make a video explaining how you self-studied design?
Lov u
I'm glad I came across your channel. It's great to get to know you a bit. And you're an inspiration to me. I have so many interests and you've confirmed that I need to release my anxieties and keep moving forward.

Omg another SMITE player!!! Also didn't realize you were so competitive😅love that dynamic. Thanks for the Q&A and I'm glad you're feeling better!
A lot of people, including myself, have different interests. We were told from young age to stay focused and that we can only pick one thing and sacrifice the rest.

Girl, I’m in IT and the sexism is UNREAL. It’s crazy. I feel for you, glad you were able to get away from that.
as a male i like computers i code gender shoudnt stop you from that you love people who are sexist are just mad that they dont have the sucsess woman have

I tell my 9 yr old niece to start skin care early....i remember in my 20s i still really bother about moisturizing, sunscreem and all that stuff
Not to be selfish… for me, you’ve had a very subtle yet lasting impact. About a year ago, I set out on an adventure to build my homelab (i’m also a cs person). After looking at all the different sff cases I fell in love with the one in your videos. Actually, that’s how i ran into your content. Although I couldn’t get my hands on that case and settled for something else, i decided to keep watching. I think your aesthetic and calm energy in the videos kept me around. After a year has passed and i’ve been watching your content every so often, i realized you’re the reason i started making my own matcha lattes. You’re also the inspiration to why i started working on my desk setup (making it more focused).
As someone who can relate to some of your experiences of anxiety and guilt, i appreciate the videos you have created. In a way, the juxtaposition of the chaos in your personal life vs the content you put out is very telling of your character and your ability to endure. You’ve got the support structure and the right people.
Thank you for the amazing content, and wish you the best! And we fans aren’t going anywhere so dw about us :)
Hello Maisy !😊 We love your cozy content. Keep going and take care yourself! 😊
Loved this! Also you should use your piano compositions as background music for your videos! 💛
I'm crying I'm so sorry about those bad comments, never have imagined you are getting them like why you are so sweet and smart and inspiring...
Aww love this QA Maisy!! I love that you share your stories and more of you! I can definitely relate to a bit of your struggles and how determined you are. You’re so strong and inspiring! I’m glad you’re back! 😊💕
I just hope you know you are kicking ass in everything you do! Literally one of my favorite creators and im so happy you didn't let those past experiences limit you and became the amazing entrepreneur that you have become!
Yes! Matcha! Not just baking, matcha drinks too! Can't believe people bully you...just know that these bullies are bored and have no purpose in life. Your channel has been inspiring and uplifting. Thank you!
so glad you chose to share a little bit about you! it’s sweet to be able to relate to a creator i enjoy! keep listening to truth and put away the lies others and even you will tell yourself. good job resting! keep going ❤
I just saw your workspace clip on instagram & wanted to know more about your productivity. I jumped onto youtube & just fall in love with you as a person! Age of empire with my brother is my memory(so shock to hear anyone playing it😅) , being the only Asian in class is my past struggle too even in Australia. Thanks you for sharing your journey & putting yourself out there. Yes I want to hear your tips on working with family, Yes to all the videos you plan to make! Lots of support & blessing from down under Australia.❤️
Thank you so much for opening up! Your videos always bring me a sense of calm and joy. It is my comfort content whenever I feel like I want to slow down and remind myself to enjoy each moment and the space I spend my time in. Please don't let the negativity discourage you because I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. You are truly an inspiration for me and I can't wait to continue watching your journey 🤍
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It takes a lot for people to put themselves out there but it helps so many people see the real life behind creators. I can resonate a lot with the imposter syndrome as a software engineer. There are so many people in so many different stages of their life doing similar things. One really needs to ground themselves in their skills, their areas they're working on, and their own enjoyment. I enjoy seeing all your "cozy vibes" as it reminds me to bring enjoyment to my work without it all being business. I can focus on how I bring ME into my own workplace but also mental workspace. Thank you so much.
"...overcome them, and not listening to the devil on my shoulder" gosh i felt that 😩 the struggle is reeeaal with the imposter syndrome and all that
Maisy!! Thank you so much for answering the question I had :) - congrats on being full-time entrepreneur!! Sending lots of love and positivity!! 💓
I also LOVE kdramas and csdramas for relaxing and playing pvp games, so relatable! I love that you've been so open and sharing more about yourself! 😊
aww thank you very much for the great question & support! i had a lot of fun answering them 💛🥹
Hi Maisy. I'm Asian and I'm a woman coder. Your videos have been inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing and I feel less alone to know your channel. Good luck to all your future endeavours. ❤
New subscriber 👋 so I’m just getting started with your playlists but I would love some piano videos. Those would be so great to have on while I’m working!
I’m a woman in tech so I feel you for the whole “if I was a guy would I be getting dismissed” thoughts. Most of the people I work with are good to me thankfully 😅.
I’m in the process of researching how I want to design my home office and I am loving the vibe your office has! Thank you for sharing this Q&A and your videos 🤗
Take the time you need to rest! We will always be here to support you and cheer you on. No one creates cozy content like you!
I feel really bad for the bad comments, I have been watching your videos for a long time and every time that I need some inspiration I watch your videos 💖💖💖💖
So many drops of wisdom. I love your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing. You seem like such a genuine, down to earth person and it’s crazy that there are people who want to tear you down. But that’s life & you can’t control that. So just keep those blinders on and keep moving forward. You obviously have so many people who support what you do and need content like yours. 💜 I’ve recently transitioned into a front end dev role and your desk setup at home is my dream hahaha
Take everyone who bully you as a blessing. Because out of bullying there’s a breakthrough and outcome. Maybe without bullying you wouldn’t be the person you’re now. I did experience a lot of racism as well growing up Asian, maybe not so much on bullying but it bothers me a lot. I’m only extroverted when I’m interacting with other Asian.. Also without racism and sexism maybe you wouldn’t be an entrepreneur today, so look at bullying as an opportunity .
I know how you felt. I experience similar when I was high school where 99% of the students are white. The feeling of I'm nothing and constantly getting ignored lasts so long. When I started working it kinda turned the other way around. I've never experience any sexism/racism or got bullied :)
As a half asian I didn't have friends at my first secondary school, and got bullied. Moved to a selective private school and still didn't have any friends for the first two years. Started realising there must be something about me, not just the school. Maybe I just wasn't confident enough to fit in with either the cool or normal crowds, or asian enough for the full-asian crowd. Luckily in 6th form someone from the asian crowd took an interest in me, invited me to sit with them at lunch and my life improved immeasurably. A lot of the conversation was in Korean, but there were others in the group who didn't speak Korean too and so we weren't completely left out 🙂🙂
way to 500k? naaah way to milions!!! i really apreciate your videos and love the vibe. youre such an awesome person and i want to know about u more. Stay cozy!! + i would really like to see some way of starting a business as an entepreneur. love u, bye 🤍
Hearing your story makes me realize that you are strong! Please do take care of yourself! and oh! I am interested in seeing you make your matcha recipes and also anything related to your piano.
I like the way you organize your work and your gaming life. It's just cute, tidy, and nice.
Hi Maisy I was writing down stuff in my notion for planning me and heathers Business and I put a time line on the calendar in notion to make sure we get everything done ✅ in a timely manner ❤😊
It broke my heart to hear you were bullied and still receiving sexist and racist comments. Just wanna send you a virtual hug. I love your videos. I have your channel in my top bookmarks bar, because it's my go-to when I need something soothing but also interesting to watch or just listen to. You've had an impact on me, just by sharing your experience and yourself with us.. it made me think more about who I am and how I wanna live my life and I'm really grateful for your channel. I wish you all the best with every endeavour on your path.
I just recently found you from your aesthetic gaming setup on my tiktok, and then your shorts showed up on my youtube and now I'm here! I love all of that stuff and it's nice to get ideas from.
gurlll theyre so jealous cuz youre successful and shining and they arent. Period. I love watching your videos while working on my 3d art
Happy you're back! Really missed your videos, they make me feel so calm. Also thanks for sharing all of this and beeing so vulnerable 🥰
I absolutely love watching your Cozy videos. Please take a break when needed, the people who care about will be here when you come back ❤️❤️
Hello Maysi, I am currently studying systems engineering and I love design a lot, what you do inspires me a lot, I love the idea of being able to mix the two things and as you said being able to bring an idea to life, I would love to be able to do it in the future. I hope you keep uploading more videos, you are a great inspiration for many and it also helps us to learn. Cheers and I send you greetings from Argentina.
Maisy you are an inspiration (especially for us women breaking into tech). Your vision and way of doing tech motivates me a lot. Please keep on enjoying your journey and sharing it with us. Love u a lot and wish you the best.🥰
Love to get to know you a bit better! I think it’s so brave to make such personal q&a‘s for UA-cam or the internet in general! I really love your channel and your content!
Please give us more of your piano content I would love to see it! Big supportive love from Germany
hey Maisy! love your return as a q&a - i relate a lot to what you were saying about being "obsessed with something one week and over it the next" and i thought i was so alone in feeling that way. love learning more about you but also totally understand the importance of boundaries, especially in our hyper-connected world. looking forward to seeing what you come up with next 🤍
Thank you for being honest about your work ethic and the issues of race and gender in the IT industry! I know there are people all over the world like you who want to find their place in the world. You are a UA-camr who inspires everyone. Please continue to take care of yourself and your family and keep sending out great videos! :)
Hello Maisy: Congratulations on your success and for growing a studio with your family. I am glad that I found your channel and find your videos very enjoyable. I believe that you are genuine. I also notice that you are very savvy at building a lifestyle brand. However, there is part of me that is concerned that the subtlety of how you show things and talk about things can definitely make people feel that if they don't spend $65 on a phone stand or $1,300 on a desk that you clearly must have received for free, that they can't achieve the cozy productive life that you have. I would appreciate it if you could also speak to the more approachable ways to achieve those goals without buying buying buying. It's a lot of pressure to put on your fellow 20-somethings for them to think that they have buy what you have been given (or possibly bought yourself sometimes) to have an aesthetic, worthwhile, and lovely life. Maybe even share what percent of the items in a video you paid for vs. given. Transparency would go a long way for total authenticity. Just some food for thought.
Loved the video! Welcome back! Your story of how you became an engineer and designer is literally how i feel rn. The tought of creating something ppl can use is fascinating. Of course we care about you! Funny cuz i am 15 and i want to do so much. I do wonder if i can find some kind of online job. Besides i also learn to play guitar and maybe someday piano too! Remember that bullies reflect their own insecurities on you and they are just jealous. They simply just don t have what to do with their own tragic sad pathetic life. You are truly an inspiration
What you’re saying really resonates with me. I feel like my brain also needs the different stimulus, but I’m not always able to satisfy it, probably because of lack of planning. Watching you talk about your life and journey is very inspiring and helpful because before I didn’t have anyone I could learn from, and I want to learn from you and bring those life tools into my own life.
I almost see you as a mentor! Having ADHD and being on my own (family/parents wise) makes it hard for me to build a life that works for my brain and that is good for my mental health. No one gave me the tools and I didn’t know how to human. But first your helped me hugely with my office space at home, which was incredibly important for my mental health as I went freelance and started working only from home, and now with life in general.
When the imposter syndrome strikes again, remind it that your videos are truly helpful and inspiring to people like me.
Also, I’m really sorry you had to go through all the bullying. I was bullied too, although for different reasons. Remember that you have a great community that appreciates you 💖
And YES! Matcha recipes video please 🙏🏻
The best come back to any hate is your success. Success is not easy. No one can give you success. Its earned, and for your the proof is in the matcha pudding. So to speak.
I loved this video. It’s great to know more about you and your background, both personal and professional. Your videos are very inspiring and calming for me, and thanks to this one now I think you give a more authentic vibe. I struggle with being authentic myself and show my feelings, thoughts and interests not only online, but also in real life and this video and all the support you got from your community made me think about how lovely and cool is to have the courage to show yourself and discover that there’s always someone that you can connect with. ❤
Love from Singapore. Why would anyone want to bully Maisy? This YT channel would have put any bullies to shame!
You always bring a pleasant feeling in your videos. Always be like that, Maisy!
It’s so lovely seeing you open up and seem more relaxed! Perfectionism is boring (I tell myself 😬) I enjoyed getting to know more about you.
I enjoy watching your videos❤️
Especially throughout my chemotherapy 😔
But now I’m cancer free😊
Thanks to you I entertain my self and admire your time and dedication for us viewers 😊
I'm so sorry that you have experienced so much racism and hatred. There are so many miserable people out there who are just jealous of your accomplishments and your life. Even though I know it's hard, please don't let them stop you from doing the amazing things you've been doing. You deserve all of the success that comes your way because you worked hard for it.
I don't say much but I watch your videos all of the time because they're so calming. I also love the relationship you have and Tristan have with your sister. It's very beautiful.
I would love to hear your piano compositions. Piano is something I always wanted to learn but never did. So, I'm definitely looking forward to that.
You're an awesome young lady who is a great role model.
Maissyy huhu haters hating on you is just living proof that you've made it (at least from my perspective). You're amazing and my inspiration TT I really gravitate towards the "wanting to create ideas" and not just code or design, i felt that TT Thanks so much for your videoss, keep it up!
Thank you for being here! I really love your cozy videos and getting to know more about you.
Thank you for opening up and being so generous Maisy! Loved this Q & A 💗
朝起きて洗い終わった洗濯物を干してると
パソコンに興味を持った頃の時を思い出した
夕方になって窓の外がオレンジ色
ご飯の時間だから今日はもう触れないと思って
その夜はココアを飲んでいた日々だった
なぜかこの動画を見ていて、私は英語がわからない
あなたの生活が素晴らしく見惚れました。
理解するために、英語の勉強を始めます。
I’m super interested in your piano compositions!! Please post them❤ I look up to you a lot as I am currently in college for engineering. Having a cozy setup has made me way less anxious:)
People who send you hate comments have deeper issues with themselves and are overall unfulfilled. Keep doing your thing girl! 🤩
I'm so happy to see how far you've come from school. I love the story of your love story - very cute!
I wasn't expecting to see a more personal video from you but I really enjoy hearing about you and youre life more. I'm here for all of it - just make sure you (and your family/team) are comfortable with what you share :)
Joining the discord!
Been a huge fan of the channel for a year now. Your channel always calms me. Appreciate you and your family videos. Everyone brings something unique to the table. There will always be those who try to put you down, but honestly a lot of them are jealous… Grammatically and articulately in the way those who write hater comments obviously have no intellect or class. You will always rise above. Keep doing the videos. You are so awesome!!!! 🤘😎
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and feelings! The hard work you put in shows! I'm very grateful to have found your channel and will support you in whatever you do next:) Take care!
Thank you for sharing. You’re vibe and office setting inspire me when it comes to creating my own cozy space. As well as working toward my tech dreams! And I enjoyed the video you shared when you and your family took a trip to the city. 😊
Maisy, your videos are amazing, the editing, themes, colors, all of it! Haters project their own insecurities onto people that are accomplishing their own goals. It takes a strong person to deal with such hate, and that strong person is you! Your videos have inspired me to learn coding and more about tech. I'm excited to support more of and see the growth of your channel, business, and self-love journey!
Just found your channel and i appreciate all you’ve shared! I’m new to computer science and have been searching for inspiration from other poc women so it was beautiful to find your channel and hear you share about yourself ♥️♥️
Hey! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and other content so much ❤ I particularly enjoy watching your videos that show your design processes (like your yearly calendar) and how you’ve set up your calm and relaxing workspace. Thank you for always being so genuine and for the cozy vibes 🥰
I love to hear about your family, make a video about the pros and cons of starting a family business please!
That last question was so sweet and so real. Thank you for continuing to make content and being so open ♥
I’ve been watching your videos last one year or so and I really enjoy all of them! Thank you for everything you’ve been sharing with us :)
So happy to see your face!! Love that you're taking care of you but look forward to your return ❤🎉
I'm having a really hard time right now but all of your videos bring me so much comfort. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing
wishing you peace & happiness
I love your videos! You may not feel like you're impacting someone's life, but you have improved my days by watching your videos! Sending you much much love.
I’m so glad you took the break. The world is such a cruel place. Love your content and it helps me to push myself to believe in what I do. Love the idea of a matcha video! Would be amazing to see!!
I start everyday watching your videos. I have coffee and breakfast while I watch them. Your vibes are so positive and motivating. It's the perfect way to start the day. Thank you for being you 🌸
Maisy, I missed you a lot! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been watching and supporting this channel for almost a year and I would say, this channel brought a lot of knowledge and cozy vibes.
Please do keep them and do more vlogs that you wanted to do and share with the people and disregard the bad vibes and focus on the cozy and good vibes.
Always take care of yourself. Looking forward to all your future vlogs 💜💜💜
aww mitch thank you so much!! 💛🥹
Wow 🤩 I hope I can work someday at Cozyleigh studios. You make such fantastic products. I drinkend matcha latte and it was so good 🍵. Can’t wait to see the new Zen collection 😊
Love to see more videos on 3D projects, product development and maker space things… very touching and authentic qna video indeed ❤
I feel like this is so relatable for me the thing u said about living something then next week something else and the extravert and social anxiety
thanks for always posting the comfy shorts, It really does make my day better! :)
And yes for "Matcha bake with me hang out session"! ;))
Thank you for the Q&A Maisy! You’re so strong, beautiful and smart thank you for the inspiration and welcome back ❤
Your content is unique, calm, and so good! Really love it. The haters are just reflecting their internal hate for themselves :(
Yes for Piano compositions! ;) Old Videos that had them as a background music were awesome because Piano music reallly fits the Aestetic visual aspect of your videos! ;)
Great video. As someone who worked in the software industry in Silicon Valley, I was sad to hear of the discrimination you encountered in your jobs in NYC. I was looking forward to your Zen MagSafe Charger, when is that going to come out?
