My name is Hong Yen Le, but everyone calls me Yen. I was born in Vietnam, grew up in Houston, TX, and received my Bachelor's of Science in Industrial Design at the University of Houston in 2013. I am currently working as an industrial designer at Stuff Creators.
I have a user-centered design approach and my strength as a designer lies in my empathetic approach and fascination for understanding people. I am an open-minded yet disciplined and detailed-oriented designer that thrives in a collaborative environment. I strive to have meaningful designs that provide a pleasant experience and connects with users.
I’ve been called a nerd, a tomboy, and easily amused — but I take those as compliments. I love movies, music, chocolate, philosophy, and comic books. In my spare time, I like to cook, play tennis, and on occasion play Call of Duty.
