About Thao N.
I am a product designer with over 7 years of experience transforming ideas into impactful, human-centered designs. From designing scalable AI SaaS products to leading the next generation of designers, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and creativity.
My Journey
My love for design began as a child, sketching and imagining how the world could be better shaped by creativity. During my time at Foreign Trade University, I pursued knowledge of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to understand human better.
Over time, this passion grew into a career where I blend aesthetics with functionality to deliver the impactful and meaning solutions for businesses and customers.
My Philosophy
I believe great design is more than just visuals—it’s about solving real problems. Every project I undertake is rooted in this principle, ensuring that the end result balances user needs with business objectives. Whether it’s crafting an intuitive interface or designing scalable systems, my goal is to create experiences that resonate.
