Hi, I'm Trang. I've spent the last 9+ years crafting experiences with a keen eye for details, clarity, and purpose. Outside of being a full-time product designer, I help early startups with design strategy and hands-on design execution.

Growing up a creative in a household of hardworking immigrants who fled from their war-stricken country, "making things look pretty" as a job was a pipe dream. But I got lucky. I lived in what felt like the innovation capital at the time, and learned how far I could stretch into the design world.

I became a designer after realizing that I care a lot about how things look, feel, and work. Making cool things that people actually use and enjoy? Design really is my calling. My approach to delivering product excellence is rooted in simplicity, clean and intentional visuals, and with a focus on balancing business goals and user needs.
