about

Hi, I’m Fen! I’m a first-generation Vietnamese-American from San Jose. I graduated from UC San Diego with a B.A. in Media Visual Arts, which is a mix of film/design/digital media.

I have about two years of work experience in graphic design, including working for UC San Diego (Undergraduate Admission and ITS Multimedia) and Two Hats Consulting. During a quarter-life crisis, I took a break from design to work in education, teaching and supporting students with disabilities (both Mild to Moderate Needs and Extensive Support Needs).

As someone who grew up below the Federal Poverty Line™ and found joy through creating MySpace layouts, designing cute animated signatures for MMORPG forums, and updating my extensive MyAnimeList account, my dreams have swung like a pendulum throughout my life from being a doctor to design to teaching. My most recent experience in education taught me about perseverance, patience, kindness, and genuine impact. As an adult, my dream is to live a full, authentic, and joyful life rooted in reality and to positively impact as many people as possible through my day-to-day.

I love connecting with new people and learning about their story. I also really love to help people if I’m able to! Please do feel free to contact me if you’d like to connect.
