Hello there, I'm Viet, a Brand and Experience strategist working at the intersection of culture, design, and technology. My work equips organizations with meaningful insights and actionable strategies to scale their businesses with clarity, cohesion, and courage:
Clarity in how a brand rediscovers its essence to clearly communicate its purpose and story to intended customers.
Cohesion in the way various experiences of a brand, whether online or offline, maintain a consistent thread and complement each other.
Courage in a brand's ability to zig when others zag, innovating based on informed research rather than solely relying on industry “best practices.”
From music to fashion, healthcare to fintech, gaming to e-mobility—regardless of industries—these three guiding principles have consistently helped me deliver a track record of growth, innovation, and affinity for both Fortune 500 companies and scale-ups worldwide; from the USA and EMEA to LATAM and APAC.
