"When we cannot change something, let’s create what we want to see".
Hi, I’m Khang a design practitioner based in Saigon with nearly seven years of experience, starting from my early days as an intern through to my work in graphic and motion design. Currently, I find myself deeply immersed in branding and creative projects.
For me, a design is not just an image, it is a piece of someone’s life and a part of both their journey and my own. I believe that creative expression is a bridge that connects us which is why I approach every branding project not just as an exercise in aesthetics, but as an opportunity to craft a meaningful story. My goal is always to
move beyond the surface creating work that resonates on a deeper level.
What did I do?
11/2019 - 1/2020 graphic design intern Sincerity Group an Australia-based real estate firm, I gained a practical understanding of the transition from academic theory to professional application. 2/2020 - 6/2020 graphic design intern at a lifestyle magazine, a great opportunity to continue strengthening my core skills in layout and hierarchy with ELLE Vietnam working in a more creative environment, I focused primarily on internal projects, developing tailored proposals for each client.
9/2021 - 3/2023 motion graphic designer Shuttlerock Vietnam a place where I truly grew up, not just as a designer, but as a person. I have a friendly b*tchy French boss would always say when I suggested Vietnamese food, 'Hey Khang, I was here even before you were born, young man.' Yet, he was the one who helped me gain confidence: 'You're doing great, I like this new change, just be yourself.' I came here with nothing, no motion skills, no confidence, but I leave with happiness, great relationships, and a well-packed toolkit of skills.
7/2023 - 8/2025 brand designer Vietcetera a media company where I fully utilized the foundation from my first job, leading the branding for a new channel provided the creative space to craft stories, sparking my deep passion for the branding field.
11/2025 - present creative designer This Is Tommy an independent creative agency and digital studio where I adapted to my first remote role. This experience required me to unlearn old habits to thrive in a new environment, while observing branding from an another perspective. Balancing a high-hustle culture with structured workflows, I sharpened my focus on technical execution and complex problem-solving.
