Hi, my name is Linh Nguyen. Born and raised in a Vietnamese family filled with tradition of Arts and Design. To me, Design and Architecture are media that help expressing places’ and people’s identities and exposing these identities to other audiences. I wish my Design would help my people on their journeys to discover their desires, while assisting them to understand their true needs. I am also hoping that my Architectural practice will be a strong connection and integration between the two cultures of East and West.
