The old me

Since I was a kid, I had a very serious talent for skipping class to draw. Not the best attendance record, but definitely an early sign that I was attached to creating beautiful things.

After high school, I took a more “practical” path and pursued a bachelor’s degree in languages, believing it was the right choice for a stable future. But creativity has a funny way of finding you again. Eventually, I couldn’t ignore it anymore, so I went back to college to explore the design world properly.

That’s how I found product design — the perfect mix of creativity and logic. I love that it’s not just about making things look good, but making them work better for real people. It lets me combine visual storytelling, problem-solving, user empathy, and structured thinking in one place.

At present

As a product designer, I’m curious, detail-oriented, and a little bit of an overthinker in the best way. I bring a strong eye for visuals, a love for clear experiences, and the patience to turn messy ideas into thoughtful, usable designs.

I’m also learning front-end development (countless YouTube tutorials included!) to better understand how a product moves from an idea to something people can actually use. For me, knowing a bit of code helps me design with more intention, communicate better with developers, and think beyond the screen.

My design philosophy

Grew up in Vietnam, I’m inspired by Buddhist teachings and deeply believe in collaboration, kindness, and creating things that bring value to the communities around me.
