ABOUT

Hello, my name is Vân. I'm a Vietnamese designer.
I have an endless passion for design and art, and I love everything I do. I am always eager to improve myself better.
Eight years of design experience, including interior, graphic, event & exhibition, and product. My role includes 2D & 3D design, team leading, basic project administration, and manager assisting.
Recently, I've been focusing more on interior and graphic design; I can also design products, exhibition booths, and events when clients order. In the future, I would like to learn more about photography and fashion.
My perspective is that every day is a new chance to create.
