UX - Engineer / UX - Designer
Virginie NGUYEN
A little about me
Hey ! I'm Virginie 🌱
I am UX Engineer — take your pick — a hybrid of UX Designer and FullStack Developer. My academic journey naturally steered me toward tech, but my heart has always beat for artistic pursuits, especially all things drawing.
With a curious mind and a hands-on spirit, I love exploring new techniques, experimenting, and crafting things by hand. Craft underpins how I think and design. I thrive on projects that blend elegance, purpose, and technical rigor.
Time is a valuable thing
— empty chatter isn't my thing — I'm all about constructive discussions, forward-moving ideas, and collaborations that spark our best work.
