My design journey started in grade 4 when I first discovered Photoshop on an old PC back home. Back then, I'd spend hours creating, thinking design was just about making things look cool. However, on my journey growing up as a designer, I learned that designers are thinkers and innovators, not just machines that execute design.
That's why I've always admired how design impacts people through visual language, shaping how they feel, think, and move through the world. When I posted my first design on Facebook and saw strangers engage with it, when I created my first advertisement and watched real interactions happen, I realized design creates connections that ripple beyond what I can control. That moment sparked a curiosity that followed me from Vietnam to the US, where I'm now pursuing my BFA in Visual Communication Design at Northern Kentucky University.
