10+ years in the industry
2010 – 2014
AiO Studio
Graphic Designer
My career kickstarted at AiO Studio, a small design team in Vietnam that specialized in offering affordable brand packages to small businesses. Working there helped me realize the significant impact branding can have, no matter the size of the business.
2011 – 2013
2! Magazine
Editorial Designer
While I was in school, I had a part-time gig at 2!, a bi-weekly teen magazine with a circulation of about 200,000 copies. The magazine eventually stopped publishing due to the rise of digital media, but it was a valuable experience that honed my layout and typography skills.
2014 – 2016
MOV Communications
Graphic Designer
My first full-time job was at MOV Communications, a communication agency specializing in events and activations. I got to be a part of the entire process, from creating proposals to revising designs and overseeing production. It was eye-opening to see the hard work and dedication needed to bring an event to life.
