Nhien Dang

I am a product designer with a passion for human-centric design where I could use my design skills to improve the lives of others.


Hi again!

I'm Nhien Dang but call me Toto, super easy to remember. I am a recent graduate from Academy of Art University (San Francisco) with a Master’s degree in UX/UI Interaction Design. While completing my degree, I was also working for MyCodi, a Bay Area tech start-up, as a junior product designer for a year. I was a part of the development team developing MyCodi native app. I have experience in Agile work environment and working with senior design creatives on both UX and UI side of the app and web.

A little more about myself, I switched careers - from designing modern custom homes in the Bay Area to designing meaningful practical solutions for people’s needs. With 5 years of professional experiences, I’ve developed a passion of delivering professional, and meaningful projects to clients.
