Lynn Nguyen,

Product Designer

Resume

I enjoy bringing ideas to life while crafting user-centered experiences that are equally aesthetic, functional and scalable.

With a strong visual design foundation built on a decade of design experience, I’ve established myself as a multi-faceted designer focused on product design in the last 6 years.
