I’m Chi, a creative born and raised in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. I work across human-centered research, design, and moving images.

I care for digital artifacts through
- designing accessible & scalable solutions and;
- researching media platforms.



After 9-5, I explore diasporic, queer and feminine identities through visual art. I also enjoy reading non-fiction books, crocheting and petting cats.
