I’m Trung.

A design journey from Dallas, Texas.

Over the last 11 years, I’ve been a design leader working on various areas of digital design, driving the creation of visually beautiful and technically robust experiences in fintech, healthcare, government, retail, and more. I’m proud to have worn many hats.

These days, I focus on leading design at Hypergiant, a company looking to build the next generation of advanced battle management system for the DoD.

Looking to create meaningful change through design? Let's connect and explore how we can make a difference together.

As an Eagle Scout, I carry the principle of leaving things better than we found them into my design leadership. I'm passionate about sustainability, education, and equality, always seeking projects that contribute to these ideals.

01

Design with Purpose

Every pixel has a purpose in my work. I combine data-driven decisions with deep user empathy to create solutions that don't just look good – they drive real results and improve lives.

02

Lead by Craft

I believe in empowering teams to do their best work. By fostering a culture of experimentation and trust, I help designers grow from contributors to innovators. The best solutions come when diverse perspectives meet fearless iteration.

03

User-Centered, Data-Driven

Great design lives at the intersection of human understanding and data-driven insights. I bring empathy to every user problem, then validate solutions through real-world metrics and rigorous testing. It's like being both a detective and a storyteller – gathering evidence while never losing sight of the human experience.

04

Iterate Fearlessly

I believe in creating environments where teams feel empowered to push boundaries and learn from every attempt. Progress isn't always a straight line – sometimes our most valuable insights come from the paths that didn't work. By combining rapid iteration with careful measurement, we turn bold ideas into proven solutions.

My journey into UX began through the analytical lens of a business analyst at Citi Group. That foundation in data and forecasting shaped how I approach design today – blending the precision of numbers with the art of user experience.

When I'm not crafting digital experiences, you'll find me exploring new destinations, enjoying craft beers with friends, or staying active. Home is where my fiancé and I experiment in the kitchen, supervised by our four kittens (though one prefers to stay off camera 🐈 ).
