about

Hi! I'm thư nguyễn (you can call me riley), a graphic & UX/UI designer (and a typography nerd).

I received my bachelor of arts at columbia college chicago in may 2025, with a major in graphic design and a minor in user experience.

I'm also an active member of the aiga columbia design group, managing and creating social campaigns. This environment allows me to tie cultural influences with contemporary design practices.

Growing up in Hanoi, Vietnam, I've always been drawn to design that celebrates culture and identity. My work often explores themes of community, memory, and tradition, celebrating the fusion of the old and the new.

Other than designing, I feel like my job in life is to explore new places, find more trinkets, try new foods, and uncover the best coffee spots.

experience

Diverse experiences have shaped my professional journey.

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of professionals, including creative directors, graphic designers, developers, writers, and UX designers. I thrive in collaborative environments, where open communication and teamwork are essential.
