Hey there! I'm Khanh ✨
I'm a creative chameleon who's spent the last 11+ years transforming wild ideas into beautiful, functional realities. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood design translator – I speak fluent Brand, User Experience, and "How-Do-We-Make-This-Actually-Work?"
What Magic I Create
Art Direction & Creative Leadership - I get unreasonably excited about perfect kerning (yes, I'm that designer). I orchestrate visual symphonies while turning chaos into campaigns and caffeine into creative gold.
User Experience Design - My superpower? Turning user frustration into user delight through research, wireframing, and prototypes that actually solve problems instead of creating new ones.
Product Strategy & Innovation - Plot twist: I also run The Kraze (20K+ readers, 30+ creatives). It's like herding incredibly talented cats who occasionally produce viral content.
Currently Obsessing Over
I'm deep in my AI-powered design era – it's like having a really smart intern who never needs coffee breaks.
AI-Powered Meal Planning App - Solving the daily "what's for dinner?" crisis for 60+ research participants (and myself)
Wedding Planning Platform - Helping people have perfect days without losing their sanity or savings
Fun fact: I'm using Sudowrite for creative writing, giving me insider intel on how AI can enhance creativity instead of stealing its lunch money.
My Design Philosophy
Great design is like a good joke – if you have to explain it, it's probably not working. I actually enjoy user interviews, bring snacks to brainstorms, and thrive in "we-need-this-yesterday" environments. The best solutions happen when creativity crashes into strategy at a user research party.
The Academic & Professional Receipts
Master's in Design Management from Pratt Institute, where my thesis won "Best UX and Service Design" (humble brag? Who, me?). 11+ years designing for everyone from scrappy startups to serious government folks.
When I'm Not Designing
You'll find me experimenting with AI tools (current obsession: context engineering), mentoring designers, or writing stories involving magical realism and questionable character decisions. I'm perpetually fascinated by how technology can amplify human creativity rather than replace it.
Let's Make Something Amazing Together
I'm always up for projects that make me think differently, laugh occasionally, and create something that actually matters. Whether you need someone to elevate your brand, untangle your user experience, or strategize your next big thing, I'm here for it.
