I’m Thien Tran, a product designer specializing in design systems with a background in software engineering and HCI.

Currently studying Informatics: Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Washington, I bridge technical skills with design thinking. My education has given me a strong multidisciplinary approach to design and software. This skill set allows me to translate between engineering constraints and user needs, creating products that are both technically sound and delightful to use.

My passion lies in design systems that maintain consistency while supporting meaningful innovation. I find purpose in building the foundations that help products evolve.

From coding to working in my family’s flower shop, I’ve learned to balance structure with empathy. I bring that same mindset into every design problem I tackle.

Outside of design, I climb competitive ranks in various video games (currently Celestial in Marvel Rivals!), build custom mechanical keyboards, modify and sew my own clothes, and listen to kpop (tripleS & LOONA!).

These hobbies have deepened my appreciation for precision, patience, and creative expression in everything I do.

I'd love to chat more, feel free to reach out!
