I’m driven by curiosity to connect with people and understand the challenges they face. That curiosity inspires me to design thoughtful, tangible solutions to everyday problems. It also fuels my love for design education and mentorship, where I continue learning while helping others grow.
MY COMMUNITIES
Figma – Campus Leader
As a Figma Campus Leader, I organize workshops, campus events, and design initiatives that connect UC Davis students with the Figma community. Through hands-on learning experiences, I help students build their skills, collaborate, and grow as designers.

WHERE I FIND INSPIRATION
Life Beyond the Pixels
Outside of design, I enjoy hiking with friends, traveling to new places, discovering cozy cafés, and performing traditional Vietnamese fan dances at community events.
These experiences keep me curious, broaden my perspective, and inspire the way I approach design every day.
