Product Designer · 3+ Years Experience
Hi, I'm Dat Duong
Designer working on system-level product thinking, and AI-augmented prototyping. Living and creating amidst the beautiful chaos of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Selected projects - Since 2022
From different stacks to shifting domains, every project I’ve touched has been a lesson. Together, they have acted as the gentle light that guided my first steps.

Three things I keep coming back to.
This isn't a rigid manifesto — it's the compass guiding me through every project. I choose to be a discerning observer when diagnosing the problem, and a dedicated maker when bringing those ideas to life.
01 · USER
Center the user, shape the interaction.
Between system and moment sits the user — their intent, their context, their attention budget. Every interaction decision routes back to that center: what does the user need next, and how do I make that path the obvious one?02 · SYSTEM
Read the system before the screen.
Most friction lives below the interface — in hardware constraints, legacy architecture, the path data takes between layers. Visual polish on a broken foundation is a vitamin, not a painkiller. Naming what actually hurts comes before any wireframe.03 · MOMENT
Name the moment that matters.
Products live in human moments — the second after the accident when you reach for the dash cam app, the breath after a perfect shot when you realise you got it. Find that moment, design backward from it, and let everything else wait.
I’m looking for my next long-term collaboration—ideally with a structured design team that prioritizes both high-level thinking and detailed craft. If you think we’d be a good fit, let’s talk.
