I'm an UX product designer,
proud of my Vietnamese roots and always wonder what's next

I'm an UX product designer with 2+ years of experience
proud of my Vietnamese roots

✰ What is my background?

Born and raised in Vietnam, lived in Boston, studied Human Computer Interaction, Digital Media Arts, and Engineering Management at Tufts (go Jumbo!)

✰ How did I get into product design?

I entered college as a Studio Art major, hoping to become a visual and graphic designer. Since taking my first UX design class in my freshman year, I absolutely fell in love and realized I wanted to grow beyond being a visual designer. I pursued product design because of its interdisciplinary nature that combines visuals, psychology, data analysis, and product thinking.

✰ How do I approach design?

I blend human-centered systems thinking into my process, tackling complex challenges by staying grounded in the needs of diverse users while understanding the interconnected UX dimensions - from lower to higher-order experiences. I utilized AI tools in my design process, whether it is for synthesizing research, quick prototyping, or back-and-forth design critiques.

Thrifting for clothes feels like finding hidden gems 💎 If I could write down my thought process when thrifting, that would be endless.
