Hi, I'm Chi. I'm a product designer who strives to create meaningful work that can create positive value especially in the area of accessible, and equitable design.

I was born and raised in the Czech Republic and am of Vietnamese heritage. In May 2021, I graduated from Minerva University, majoring in Business, Brand Management, and minoring in Cognitive Science. Throughout my undergraduate studies at Minerva, I had the opportunity to live, work & study in 6 global cities (San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and London).

In fall of 2023, I started a Master's Degree in Integrated Design at NYU where I am currently exploring questions of accessible design in tech and an inclusive future of UX.

When I’m not working, you can find me blasting the latest K-pop tunes, crocheting, or making hand-made cards. As of late, I’ve been listening to TXT’s Over the Moon, watching Love is blind, and reading the Sympathizer by Nguyen Viet Thanh.
