About

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and print-focused technician based in Ho Chi Minh City, working at the intersection of brand strategy and production. I support identity and brand system projects—from research and positioning to concept development and visual execution—collaborating closely with experienced strategists and designers across industries like financial services, hospitality, F&B, retail, and consumer goods.

Alongside brand work, I enjoy the craft side of design through print production: I troubleshoot and prepare large volumes of print jobs, manage colour, sizing, finishing, and produce publications with careful quality control. Outside of client work, I’ve designed long-form editorial layouts, developed a typeface featured in an exhibition, and I’m drawn to projects that combine typography and storytelling
