Ho Chi Minh City
A word to define what kind of worker you are:
Independent
What tools are essential to your life (app, software, etc..)
Definitely my PC with Adobe products, and my note + pencil
What does your office space look like?
Most of the time, it’s bright and clean (totally different when I have a party). I like to work in a minimal environment. I just want my essential things on the table, no more, no less. As a brand identity designer, I try to organize a neutral workspace. That way I can focus on the “feel” I need to give in for every branding project. I live in a high-rise apartment so it’s very quiet, which is just right for my taste.
What kind of music do you listen when you are working?
I don’t listen to music at all while working. I think music distracts me from my idea. Every branding project is different from one another so It’s best that I maintain my neutral mood.

It’s simple for me. Every day, I seek inspiration in the morning, relax in the afternoon and sketch at late night.
