Hello there!
I’m a UX/UI Designer based in Beaverton, OR.
I love calligraphy and soup. My background is in Marketing and Public Health.
I was born in Vietnam and immigrated to Jacksonville, FL, with my family in 2005. Growing up, I always have been interested in anything creative and love to help others through empathic listening and meeting their needs.
My previous experience in web design for marketing and promoting in the Public Healthcare space has taught me how to make an idea reality. Through perceptive listening and empathetic communication, my approach to user experience design centers around understanding users’ needs to create solutions with thoughtfully curated, purposeful, and visually compelling designs.
Design method
My approach to user experience design centers around design thinking of understanding users’ needs and creating thoughtful, intuitive experiences that feel distinct and relevant to users. I strive to create engaging user experiences that people find simple, inspiring, and empowering. The interfaces I design are user-centered and are influenced by modern design principles. I have a strong background in web and mobile design.
