About me and this site

Selfie with the Eiffel Tower in January 2025

My name is Thư and I’m a product designer based in Sài Gòn, Việt Nam. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the web.

Professionally, for the last five and a half years I’ve been leading product design at Anduin, a B2B SaaS startup creating products for fund managers, law firms, and investors in the world of private markets. I love finding simplicity and elegance within complex systems and crafting thoughtful user experiences. Working with talented, funny, and honest people on challenging problems in this niche has been immensely rewarding. Before Anduin, I designed e-commerce experiences for clients worldwide across various industries at SAI Digital. Prior to that, I was a designer at the cryptocurrency exchange Liquid (acquired by bitFlyer).

When I’m not working, I read, journal, write, run, spend time with my fiancée and friends. Here’s what I’m doing now, why I started this blog, and tools I use.

I like connecting with new people. You can always email me, or message me on Bluesky where I occasionally post photos and memes. I’m not active on any other social media. I track books on Literal and movies on Letterboxd.

This website is my playground where I tinker and make tweaks every week. I created it from scratch with HTML and CSS back in 2020, and the stack remains the same to this day. I use Sublime Text as my code editor and test locally using Node.js servers, usually http-server. Typography is set in Source Serif 4 by Frank Grießhammer. Icons are from Streamline. Everything is open source on GitHub and deployed via Cloudflare Pages. I use Umami for basic analytics, I’m mostly curious how people discover my site and how many look at what specific content.

Shoutout to people who have inspired my approach to designing and writing for this space:

I’ve been curious if anyone would toss in $1 for something I wrote. If you enjoyed reading, consider buying me a coffee.
