My story • Before graduating college, I was pursuing a career in healthcare. I wanted to make use of my strong analytical thinking skill and support underserved communities. I always had an interest in art and design, but kept it as a hobby. I gained exposure through digital marketing, photography, and graphic design in my college extracurriculars.
My path • After graduating, I was formally introduced to UX and realized my passion for problem solving and story telling. Despite coming from a non-tech industry, I've spent countless hours learning new design skills and tackling real world issues. I'm always looking for opportunities to apply my unique scientific background to the field of UX design.
My values • With a strong background in research, I build upon data to craft delightful and meaningful solutions to everyday problems. I believe that collaboration, compassion, and open-mindedness are important tools in design. I work with a growth mindset and actively learn from my setbacks. My design philosophy is to promote diversity and accessibility through technology.
My personal life • I'm a proud Vietnamese-American. I was born and raised in Seattle, so I've spent a lot of time exploring the PNW. In my free time, I enjoy photography & listening to EDM. You might catch me watching Netflix, hiking with friends on the weekend, or trying new places to eat! Aside from being a designer, I hope to start my own cafe in the future.
