Jenny Do's Portfolio

I'm a do-er, pun intended.

Nice to meet you, I'm Jenny Do 🌱

I've always sought comfort in creating. From charcoal, to ink, to oil paint, I simplified unfamiliarity into intuition through art as I moved from Vietnam to the US.

Design speaks to me in the same way. It encourages me to stay curious, to further inspect relationships, perspectives, arrangements, and the list goes on. But most of all, I resonate with the steps further by asking How might we?

Creating gives me comfort but in stepping further, perhaps what I create can give others comfort. Always further and together, I aim to create not just as a designer for users faced with the unfamiliar, but as a human for more humans with real stories, aspirations, and needs.
