Going back in time

I grew up in the vibrant city of Hanoi, Vietnam, where colours and stories shaped how I view the world. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved creative storytelling :)

I used to spend summers reading Shin-Chan and drawing Adventure Time characters in my sketchbook.

My design journey

I’m drawn to art and design because of their flexibility and creative range. Besides experimenting with different mediums (acrylics, watercolour, gouache or digital art), I also enjoy trying new design tools and vibe-coding.

During my time at the University of Sydney, I found myself motivated to pursue design as a field that aligns with me fundamentally. I get to build things that I’m proud of and stay creative while doing it.

I’m also motivated by the idea that design can influence and drive real change, especially in areas that often overlook it, such as law or public systems.

Outside of design

When I’m not deep in Figma, I like to surround myself with nature, literature, and friends.

Long walks, late dinners, slow mornings with a book. Those are the things that keep me feeling like myself.
