Hi, I'm Thanhthao Van*!
I'm a Vietnamese-American graphic & visual designer with 4+ years of professional creative experience and a 9-year background in photography, designing in San Jose, CA and the SF Bay Area.
I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from San José State University in May 2022—with a 3.8 GPA! My professional work spans across digital media, print, branding, photography, and more.
I'm a devoted fan of tiny details and big ideas, and I grew up being known as the "creative" one in my family and social groups. When I'm not glued to my MacBook, you can find me shooting photos, traveling, crocheting, or finding ways to maintain an active lifestyle so I don't develop a "shrimp-back" from designing all day.
CURRENTLY:
Listening / Christian Kuria, Maye, SZA & 2000's R&B
Reading / Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Learning / Pottery (Wheel Throwing)
Saving up / Sony Alpha 7 IV Mirrorless Camera
Loving / Oatmilk Matcha Lattes & Pour-Overs (Black!)
