Luong Nguyen

UI UX Designer

Hanoi, Vietnam
To me, UI/UX Design is that fine balance between Form vs Function; Intuition vs Feedback. Understanding both sides of these scales helps me navigate through obstacles and design challenges in my job.

I started in this field since 2014 and have worked on a diverse number of products, including fintech, education, tourism, ecommerce, internet browsers, media, dating apps and so much more.

As for my style of working, I truly believe that a product designer is part of the development team therefore I always tried to work very close to developers, tester, product and project managers. I have a good understanding of Design Thinking and can apply it to design user-centered products.

As a tech enthusiast, I always want to be a part of a team who develop great software/applications that can change people’s lives and make the world a better place.
