I am an architect by training, a visual strategist by profession, and a lifelong learner by curiosity.
My academic journey began at the HCMC University of Architecture, followed by a full scholarship to the University of Oulu, where I earned a Master’s degree in Architectural Design with Distinction in 2016.
After six years of professional experience as an architect and an architectural illustrator at several practices, I decided to expand my boundaries and step into the entrepreneurial world. In early 2020, I established Valobello—a creative studio where I can fuse the critical thinking of an architect with the true craftsmanship of a digital artist.
Additionally, a deep curiosity about business has led me towards an enriching learning path, complementing my design mindset. What began as an inquiry into organizational communication and management has evolved into new questions about customer service. Engaging topics in service marketing further fuel a fascination with microeconomics and value quantification.
To recharge and maintain balance, I spend my free time running, swimming, and reading books on game theory. Aside from that, I enjoy the scent of freshly-cut grass, the energy of Cuban Salsa, and the rhythm of Dominican Bachata.
