Design that survives
contact with the press.

I'm Phuong — a graphic designer with eight years across municipal government, nonprofit advocacy, engineering consultancy and commercial print. I build brand systems, and I prepare the files that produce them.

The Fold monogram

Brand identity · Self-initiated

The Fold

A folded ribbon that forms both letters of my initials — and becomes the visual language for everything around it.

In progress

More work, shortly

Brand identity, packaging and campaign work from the past eight years is being written up now.

About

Print-trained, digitally fluent

Most designers specialize early. I've deliberately worked across sectors — a city government, an anti-poverty nonprofit, an engineering consultancy, and now a commercial print studio.

That range made me faster. Working alongside a press changed how I design: I build files that behave, and I can tell a client what something will cost and how long it will take before we commit to it.
