Hey fellows, my name is Minh. I'm a Vietnamese artist based in Wooster, Ohio. Up until May 2024, I am obtaining a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Studio Arts. Following graduation, I'm pursuing a full-time UX design career to enhance the digital life of those who need it the most.

Growing up, arts has been integral part of my life. I remembered that my dad, who is an engineer with a bit of arts in him, would draw these half-filled human figures and told me to draw the rest. I would add some heels, gowns, and a dazzling ballroom settings to give my characters a new identity. I became so addicted to drawing that I once ripped apart a piece of paper from my classmate's notepad to draw while waiting for a party to be over, only to be canceled by his friend group 5 hot sec later.

Professionally, I am interested in computer-based projects with an artistic or human-centric twist to it, hence UX design. Through out many semesters of creating short procedural and object-oriented programs, I take on a special interest in game development and computer graphics, but then always pursue a stronger interest in the design process of a software's interface.

During downtime, I enjoy an endless stream of hobbies - scrapbook-making, DIY-craft-making, cooking, video blogging, dancing, singing ... something about arts that it cannot leave me.
