Great design isn't just about looking good—it's about communicating clearly and making an impact.
When I create thumbnails and graphics, I focus on:
✅ Clear messaging
✅ Strong visual hierarchy
✅ High click-through potential
I'm continuously building my portfolio and improving my skills. Every project helps me grow, and I appreciate everyone who supports my journey.
Let's create visuals that stand out.

Designing a table lamp inspired by Vietnamese “áo dài” and “nón lá” with @Envato at the centre of my workflow.
Starting from a black-and-white sketch, I built the lamp's ceramic base and rice-paper shade using Envato's AI toolkit, tagging reference materials directly so AI wasn't guessing at textures it can't always read from an image alone.
AI was great at generating options. It was not great at knowing which option was right; I rejected a full batch that technically worked but lost the silhouette I actually wanted, and hand-retouched a detail (the finial) that AI kept leaving unfinished.
The bigger call AI couldn't make: timing this launch to back-to-school season in Vietnam, when áo dài comes back out. That's not a style choice; it's a commercial one.
See the full process and the part AI couldn't do in the VIDEO below. 👇

Great Submission!
My entry for the Envato & Contra Challenge! ✨
For this project, I imagined a visual identity for a national park dedicated to protecting the snow leopard or irbis, the traditional name for this rare mountain cat. It’s a species deeply connected to Central Asian culture and the place where I grew up.
I used Envato as an all-in-one creative toolkit to explore and bring the concept to life, including ImageGen, GraphicsGen, VideoGen, MusicGen, and Stock assets such as photos, videos, and graphics.
I've wanted to create something like this for a while, and this challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to finally explore the idea and tell an important story through design. 💜

Beautiful! 🤍
Can illustration become part of architecture?
I've been exploring the idea of taking my geometric illustrations beyond fashion and transforming them into pieces that live within interior spaces.
Instead of treating artwork as something added to a room, I wanted it to feel like it belongs to the architecture itself—quiet, minimal and timeless.
This concept is part of my ongoing visual exploration for VALMA, where fashion, art and interior design share the same visual language.
I'm curious—would you see work like this in a home, boutique hotel or gallery?
