Columbus, Ohio, United States

I am a Vietnamese-born conceptual and sustainable fashion designer. Highly attentive to concept and details, I believe that fashion, apart from celebrating the physical beauty of human being, should be able to reflect one’s inner feelings and philosophical thoughts. Coming from a developing country where I have observed the negative effects of the fast fashion industry, especially unethical labor practices and environmental pollutions, I stand firm about sustainable and ethical fashion as well as raising awareness of the issue as a designer.

Currently studying at Columbus College of Art & Design , I have experienced working in the fashion industry as both design and public relations interns. I am committed to understand the industry from different perspectives to find the best way to bring my designs to the customers. During the last few years, I have won several design awards and competitions, including the 2014 Blanche Payne Award from International Textile and Apparel Association and First prize at Extreme Cotton Activewear Exhibition sponsored by Cotton Inc. in 2015.
