Over four years at HSU, I’ve found my voice in the colorful world of fashion. Through the challenges of mastering my craft, from the first clumsy cuts of fabric to the sleepless nights before a deadline, I realized: True creativity thrives on perseverance and self-belief, not on absolute perfection. Be courageous enough to be different, reject stereotypes, and find value in every stroke, every idea, and every new beginning.

Valedictorian in Fashion Design program, Class of ’25
The Best Avant-Garde Fashion Collection at Vietnam Next-Gen Fashion Era 1
I came to Saigon with a simple dream as a girl who loves drawing. I was determined to discover how far my efforts could take me in pursuing that dream. No project would have been complete, and no painting as vibrant, without the many sleepless nights and the incredible support from my family, my lecturers, friends at Hoa Sen University, and all the people I love.
May you soon achieve your own life’s dream!

Second Prize for Design in a Traffic Safety Awareness Campaign 2023
My decision to pursue Graphic Design was a risk, given my limited experience and skill in drawing. However, my time at HSU taught me that design was not just about technical drawing skills; it was about design thinking and the ability to create solutions. The lecturers were dedicated, always listening to our ideas and guiding each of us to develop according to our unique strengths. It’s true that at HSU, every diversity is respected and valued.
