throughout Design Co’s Visual Design Apprenticeship (2023)
Hi! My name is Cindy Nguyen (sin-dee win) and I’m a 3rd year studying Interdisciplinary Computing & the Arts and Cognitive Science: Design & Interaction at UC San Diego. Coming from a background in digital art and graphic design, I’m interested in learning more about visual & UI/UX design while expanding my horizons with the former.
When I’m not designing, I’ll probably be playing Stardew Valley or Genshin Impact, taking photos of the sky (and the occasional bird), or cooking up way too much food for 1 person. More often than not, though, you can find me sitting cozy with a book or on Instagram and LinkedIn.

f1-2: brand identity & case study
It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s already been 12 weeks! In this time, I was able to accomplish nearly all of my goals: I’ve gotten a lot better at Figma & Illustrator, adopted the two programs into my design workflow, changed the way I approach design projects (ex. putting even more emphasis on how the audience will interact with the design and iterating based on), and created a wider variety of projects. I’m very proud of all that I was able to create under the guidance of the mentors, with feedback from my peers, and equipped with creative freedom & resources. Even though VDA is over, I’ll definitely be carrying everything I’ve learned with me into the future and on to future design projects. 🙌
