designer/ puzzle solver
My name is Thu Tran, an Interactive Design student at Lesley University passionate about branding, graphic design, UX/UI, and web design. I approach each project with curiosity and strategy, always considering the audience, purpose, and context to create designs that are both functional and visually engaging.
​
Through my studies and design experiences, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for the details that bring a project to life—whether it’s typography, layout, or user flow. I enjoy refining ideas and systems so that every element connects seamlessly, creating designs that feel intentional and meaningful across both digital and print platforms.
​
For me, design goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about building experiences that form deeper connections between people and brands. I believe that every shape, pattern, and interaction has meaning when placed thoughtfully, and I’m always exploring new ways to bring clarity, creativity, and impact to my work.
