A little bit about myself...

A graphic and visual designer with a background in illustration and coding. I was born and raised in Vietnam but came to Vancouver and kept developing my skills as an international student. I am currently in my third year majoring in Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) and Publishing minor.

I always have had a passion for art and design. I started drawing and tried to learn Photoshop purely for fun when I was 12 years old. I aimed for majoring in Japanese during my high school time. Design and drawing were merely my interest at that time. Interestingly, when coming to my college path, I had decided to pursue design and apply to SIAT. This decision was made because of a business project I did in high school. My team started a small business that sold banana cake and I was responsible for designing the logo, package and website using Wix. I started to take design more seriously after that project and decide to follow it. I also took a liking to code, especially game and web development during my experience in university.

Tools I use for design, art and coding: Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, Figma, XD, Visual Studio Code.
