About Me

I'm a user experience and product designer and I love making things, especially things that help others. I think one of the beauty of designing is that you get to make something and put it out there, and people use it and it helps better their life in one way or another.

Company culture is also something that I really love thinking about and working on. I'm really blessed with the kind of people who allow me to directly get involved in building a more humane, caring and driven work environment where everyone feels happy and motivated. If you're to spend most of your life "working", then you should be able to fall in love with it everyday I believe.

Traveling has been an essential part of my life as it rejuvenates, it teaches and it soothes. Being uncomfortable in strange lands, meeting new peoples reminds me that life itself is more than just the daily grind, but there's so much beauty in what nature and man have created, and there are so many different lives to know, to empathize with, so many problems worth solving and can be solved by design.

I think I'm a sponge and love many many things. But if you love music, art & design, history, nature, psych, conversations, longboarding, books, laughters, the finer things, the less polished things in life, I think we'll get along just fine :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one is kind of a personal challenge but catching sunrise on top of a volcano in Bali was pretty amazing, or cycling alone in the Bos of Delft, long walk on the seemingly infinite shore of Scheveningen, diving in Tioman.
I can't choose, life's kind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to draw, cause that's what I do for my day job right now. I can give you off the beaten track traveling tips. I heard I'm good at date ideas so I can be your consultant. Or write you a poem, send you a care package with hand written letter.

I can't cook so maybe you can teach me that in return.

and... Vietnamese!
