Hello! I am Thuy Khuu, an industrial designer with a background in communication studies, UI and spatial design. I enjoy a wide spectrum of design on products, from brand identity, to product and packaging, user interface, and to display and exhibit design.
Architecture and Japanese culture have been a major source of influence to my work. Architecture encourages me to see holistically, and Japanese philosophy helps me appreciate the simple things in life. It’s the simple things that we encounter in our daily lives that make our lives richer. I believe design is about finding originality in everyday life and transforming ideas into a meaningful connection with people.
