About

Hello, welcome to my site.

My name is Tuan Son (you can spell my name as “Son” with a little leviation of your voice.)

I’m an UX designer with a little flavour of “engineering” based in Hanoi, Vietnam.

What is this website?

Why did you create it?

This website is my own digital space on the Internet (some like to call theirs as digital garden), where I grow, tend and cut my own thoughts, away from the grasp of social media and tech overlords.

I (sometimes) like to experiment some funky layouts, add some micro-interactions on random things (still learning the hang of it). My website is constantly a WIP (work in progress).

What is your work as you call it as “user experience”?

I learn how people doing their work, what their struggles are in their work, and I work to find a way to ease those struggles out from their shoulder by arranging rectangles on the screen (jokingly).

Simply put, I design and make things that useful to people, be it one time or multiple times to come back (ideally one time though).

What is your recent achievements?

🎉 Created this website from scratch. I know that there are LLM tools that really speed up how you create a website, but for me I want my website to be more “handmade”, and I enjoy the continuous journey of building it too.

I got the 5th place in Product Pioneer Candidate, a competition to “simulate” the process of hiring candidates for product positions. Despite we can’t join the finals due to not being 4th place (damn), I am still proud of what my team and I achieved in such a short time frame.

I also got graduated as Computer Science graduate of National Economic University in Hanoi. Five years of bittersweet and experiences did float by so fast phew.

How can I contact you if I want to know you more?

You can contact me through these channels:

My work email: kisei.tuanson.work@gmail.com

Mastodon: https://mstdn.social/@drkisei

Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tuansonnguyen/ (ideally don’t chat to me on this platform though just shoot to me your email)

Irl meeting: if we have chat a couple of times on these channels above, and you are near Hanoi, just hit me up and have a coffee (or cakes if you don’t like caffeine.) I am admitted that while I can be quite introvert at times, I do enjoy meeting and chatting new people and know I should be more a little “adventurous” about it.

Anything else?

That’s it. Thank you for your time reading these.

Have a nice day on the web.
