I want to make the world a better place by solving problems for people through design

My name is Minh Anh. I’m a digital User Experience designer, coming from the background of software engineering and graphic designing.

My multidisciplinary background gave me curiosity and holistic, whole-of-picture perspectives as a designer. It makes me deeply appreciate art, artistic beauty, its impacts and values in society. It also makes me a tech-savvy, and super excited for the future of mankind and the advancement we can achieve.

Other than my hobby in photography, I’m also a gamer, an Astralis CS fan and a Man City football fan (not a plastic fan :P). Video games excite me because they represent a captivating fusion of art and technology. This blend not only delivers compelling narratives but also provides us with intuitive experiences (and fun too!). As a tech enthusiast, design possibilities that come with the latest technologies exhilarate me!

“Minh was a great asset when we were pivoting the Softagram brand, websites, and frontend. Detailed design and graphical skills and great work attitude made Minh our main Graphic designer, despite the fact that he was still a student. I can recommend Minh to any frontend, application or graphical designer jobs based on our good experience.”

Tommi Tallgren - Director, Business Development at Elektrobit

“Having a great design skill, Minh does not limit himself within the design work but goes great length into conduct research on the company product industry, use cases, competitors, strength and weakness. He present for our previous companies as well as the developer team great contribution in term of design and UX, often with game-changer design that we did not even ask or think of. His desire to go up and beyond really wows me when I have a chance to work with him in the same team in two different tech startup company, and he make life easier for everyone due to his forethought.”

Trung Nguyen - Software Engineer II at Nokia

“Minh lays a foundation for StepOut platform in terms of branding and product design. He is an exquisite Product Designer whose ideas and knowledge about UI/UX have lifted us to a next level. Sensible, customer-focused, creativity-driven, and always strive for excellence are just a few words to describe him. Any website or mobile application that he designs is both user-friendly and developer-friendly, that’s his wit! In any circumstances that we need to scale down, he’s really flexible and open-minded. I sure find working with him a huge pleasure as he’s a great friend firstly, then comes a supportive and caring colleague, and I believe everyone working with him will definitely feel the same!”

Leanne Do - Software Engineer at Wolt

“Minh is ambitious UX specialist who gets his job done. I'll definitely recommend his expertise for any design jobs. He has also courage to dwell into technical tasks such as figuring out how things work in the front-end code. So he can produce feasible design instead of design that only works on paper/prototype. For example, have a look at softagram.com website or try Softagram in GitHub marketplace.”

Ville Laitila - CEO and Founder at Softagram
