About Bryan Hogan

About me

I’m Bryan Hogan, a developer and designer. I studied a mix of code, design and entrepreneurship and have been working in this field since.

My decision to go study abroad in Korea was one of the best I ever made. Since then I have spent many days outside of Germany, living as a digital nomad and working in different countries.

I started my blog Bryan’s Blog during 2023 while in Korea, and now it’s a place for me to share all the things I would have loved to know about before I knew about them.

I write about building digital products, web development, intentional digitalism and balanced productivity. I aim to write content that is helpful, entertaining and for the intellectually curious, e.g. content about Obsidian, Creating or Korea. See my blog introduction for more information about my blog.

Other writing I have published is part of my web development guide or my guide to learn Korean.

I also run a monthly newsletter called Bryan’s Briefing since the beginning of 2024 in which I share what I’m up to, cool insights I’ve recently had and other amazing content I came across. I appreciate everyone who joins!

I graduated in Code & Context in Cologne in 2025, but knew that after the year in South Korea that I wanted to go back, but also see more of the world. I started a nomadic life and lived in Korea, Macau, China, Japan and Australia.

Trying to not starve I continued working on DailySelfTrack app and also became a freelancer, creating websites and (web) apps. I enjoy creating digital tools that help you, so see my projects page for more tools I have published.

I also have a Now page with updates on what I’m currently up to.
