Over 1 year studying design, I have learned that,
Restless reinvention: There is no final product, treating every design as an evolving solution, then process the feedback, make changes, and repeat.
Adapting to change: Change is constant. Be moving forward with whatever tools that the moment demands.
Presenting work is as vital as creating it. Leverage data and design rationale to demonstrate clear value to stakeholders.

As a career switcher, I used to…
Be a customer experience agent at Maersk L&S Vietnam
My time at Maersk is invaluable, it gave me a solid foundation in user-centered thinking, process optimization and cross-functional collaboration with kind and supportive teammates.
However, after some time, I realized I couldn't find my spark in this field. Every day started to feel like I was just going to do repeated tasks. So I decided to step out my comfort zone (I believe that all my previous work have been completed and handed over at utmost seriousness).
Complete the Multi-disciplinary Designer course at DAS
Once I realize my inner passion is design. I took a career break and dedicated myself to a long term course named Multidisciplinary designer at Design Anthropology School.
Over one year of continuous study and practice, I’ve pushed myself to master the intersection of UI/UX, strategy, and visual communication. Being named a DAS Honor Student in 2026 was a huge milestone for me. It represents all my hard work and effort paid off.
Complete UIF and UXF at UX Foundation
Among major of design, I found that UI/UX is where I truly belong. So I chose to enroll at UX Foundation in parallel with my studies at DAS. It was an intense journey, but it was the best way for me to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, industry-ready UI/UX skills.
The most valuable lessons I gained are the Beginner’s Mindset and #NGU (Never Give Up). These principles will be my foundation which keep me curious, persistent, and resilient on my future design journey.
Be organization board for MOVE ON sharing event
My journey didn't stop in the classroom. As part of the organization team for the "MOVE ON" event, I explored the intersection of Product Design and AI. This experience allowed me to be fully aware of the reality that AI & Automation are changing the way we develop and design products.

Out of design, I love…
Shooting 35mm film pictures
There is always a little surprise for me as the grain, the fade, the markings, the variety and everything else about film is unintentionally beautiful.
Walking around my neighborhood
Watching everything comes across my path is enjoyable, I can't help but curiously seeking for the reason behind their movement.
Watching old series and movies
Watching a movie is only half the fun, I love digging into old discussions and reviews from the exact time a film premiered to see how it originally captured the world.
