About
Han is a graphic designer from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, driven with a passion for creating purposeful and engaging design that are impactful beyond functionality. She values strategic thinking, attention to detail and exploration.
Throughout her design journey, she has had the opportunity to explore across various media, including branding, UX/UI, packaging, editorial, social content and visual computation. The experience she has gained from this range of exploration has helped solidify her approach to different projects from concept to execution and has enabled her to become more adaptable, as well as stay curious as a designer.
She approaches each project with a balance of creative freedom and human-centredness, where design interventions and solutions are not only visually compelling but also resonate with and are effective for their intended audience. Human-centredness is a significant part of what drives her design process, with a strong belief that the best results come from blending empathy and open communication between people, be it a collaboration within a design team or with users. This is how ideas are translated into meaningful visual outcomes.
Over the course of her studies, she has learned to create work that prioritises connecting with people. Whether it is to spark conversations or addressing specific needs, a question that continues to guide her work is: For whom does this communicate to and why does it matter?
Overall, Han’s flexibility and adaptive style allow her to freely explore new creative endeavours that probe the boundaries between design, art and visual experimentation.
PACEFUL (Designing for Sleep & Productivity)
Paceful is an application proposed as a comprehensive intervention addressing the issue of normalized sleep deprivation resulting from productivity pressure for university students.
Paceful is designed to support this balance through targeting time management, behavioral barriers (procrastination, lack of motivation, distractions), and ultimately, to contemplate reflection of personal health and well-being through intentional design choices.
This design system differs from existing data-driven self-optimisation sleep and productivity tools by focusing on designing for reflection to influence long-term behavioral changes. With its tagline ‘Your pace, your peace’, this serves as a reminder to university students to value their own pace within their personalised support system amidst an accelerated pace of life and society.
AN ICON, A LEGACY—G-DRAGON
This publication explores G-DRAGON’s evolution—from chart-topping artist to a cultural icon. Covering his music, achievements, and the impact of his fashion brand PEACEMINUSONE, the work highlights his influence across industries.
A visionary who constantly redefines artistry, G-DRAGON blends artistry, innovation, and style like no other. The creative direction of this publication took inspiration from G-DRAGON's unique yet diverse style which merges American hip-hop, Korean street style and a bold combination of luxurious and casual punk-chic aesthetics into a distinctive approach that can be found in both his fashion and music scenes.
This was translated into the publication through the use of bold Graffiti typography, high contrast colour grading and noise textures.
ECHOES OF EMOTIONS
This project focuses on data visualisation by making sense of data from statistics to visuals.
The data explored in this project are recorded body rhythms (blinking, breathing, and pulsing) for visualisation through p5.js and TouchDesigner. Because body rhythms are directly influenced by our emotional states, visualising these patterns can reveal subtle, often overlooked aspects of how we experience and express emotions.
By transforming this physiological data into visuals, the project moves beyond presenting numbers, offering a more intuitive and empathetic understanding of the human experience through data visualisation.
Emotional Currents: This TouchDesigner work explores the intangible nature of emotions, using fluid movement and shifting forms to reflect the constant flux of our inner states. The deep blueish-purple tones evoke a sense of introspection, blurring the boundaries between calm and unrest. As the visuals evolve, they mirror the way emotions surface, recede, and transform—a reminder of the subtle yet persistent presence of our emotions.
Experiencing Anxiety: This exploration using p5.js looks into the visualisation of anxiety through body rhythm data, using textured visuals to convey the diverse ways this emotion is experienced. By transforming physiological responses into abstract patterns, the experiment highlights the unpredictable and multifaceted nature of anxiety.
