Hi, I'm Cam
My work is about telling stories and solving problems
After getting my law degree, I discovered a passion for UX/UI design, and it was love at first sight. In 2016, I took a leap of faith and began my journey as a Product Designer. Over the past few years, I've dedicated myself to this dynamic field, honing my skills and expertise in design, people, and technology. I am a firm believer in teamwork and continuous learning. My experience spans across fintech, logistics, and SaaS industries.
