Nine thousand miles from Cam Ranh, Vietnam, I arrived in a vast, buzzing world, seeking design but discovering a tapestry of lives instead. Every story I heard sharpened my work, pushing me to craft products that do more than function—they resonate.
Merging Information Science—User Experience, Behavioral Science, Data, and Tech—with Fine Arts and Game Design, I honed a knack for digging deeper, seeing what’s missed. My designs aim for inclusion and clarity, grounded in real intent.
Amid hype about AI taking over, I focus on what people bring—grit, ideas, heart. Each product I build ties back to that, cutting through the noise with purpose.
