Chi Pham
My motto in life is to ‘try everything’ and ‘challenge yourself’. In trying new things, I learn to embrace failure — it’s fun and it teaches you things! I can use my analytical mind from my engineering background with my creative thinking that I learn through work and my MA to design digital experiences that people enjoy. My lifelong desire to do things that inspire people in a memorable and lasting way brought me to UX design.
My Background
Tampere University of Applied Sciences
2016 - 2021
Aalto University

My Values
An open mindset towards dealing with new information or human differences is my secret weapon as a designer, which was sharply honed thanks to my experiences living in a diverse and global environment.
It's important to know we are not on this building product journey alone, and we can help each other along the way, having a supportive group of people around you is crucial for everyone to grow.
My Hustle
I thrive on seeking new experiences, and being an entrepreneur has always been at the top of my list. Starting a business abroad, selling exquisite Korean-imported jewelry, has been an exhilarating and challenging adventure. This journey has not only brought me immense joy but also valuable knowledge, contributing significantly to my growth as a product designer.

My ultimate goal is to empower young Vietnamese people to live up to their own creative potential and expose their talents to other parts of the world. The side goal of this job is helping me become a better — more confident, more assertive, more refined, and more well-spoken version of myself.
