I’m Cindy, a fourth-year Graphic Design student at California College of the Arts. ₊˚⊹

I'm a versatile designer with experience in marketing, brand identity, print design, typography, and more. My work centers on crafting memorable experiences through clarity and strong identity.

My ambition reflects the resilience and creativity I’ve inherited from my Vietnamese roots. Being the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, my heritage plays a significant role in influencing my design perspective as I’ve learned to approach challenges with determination.
This mindset is represented through my personal symbol being a phoenix, known for rising from the ashes to shed old ideas and emerge with renewed insights. I always strive to carry these traits into my design practice.

Outside of my academic life, I enjoy crafting handmade beaded keychains! Pictured above are some pieces I’ve made this past year! This process complements my design work, as it lets me explore color combinations, patterns, and textures in a more tangible way.
