What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a creative role where I can apply concept development and visual storytelling to ceramics and illustration, collaborate with others, and keep growing professionally in a team-focused environment that values great customer experiences.

I’m a visual arts professional with 7 years of experience, combining concept development and visual storytelling to create original works. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Ceramic Arts from Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Arts, and I enjoy turning ideas into clear, engaging visuals.

I’ve worked as an Art Teaching Assistant (2019–2021), including private art tutoring for children aged 6–14, and I’m confident working effectively in a team. Since 2019, I’ve participated in annual artist fleamarkets and conventions across Vietnam, collaborating with international artists as an illustrator, and more recently I’ve taken on a Trainer role at Ceramic Club Workshop to help ensure a smooth, memorable customer experience.
