About Me


I’m Angel Nguyen— a UX designer driven by

community, collaboration, and storytelling

through design.

Growing up, I always had an affinity for anything and everything creative. From receiving art sets as a child, to starting my own art and jewelry business in high school, and taking on multiple design roles at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, I’ve continually sought opportunities to nourish and nurture my drive for creativity.

Beyond the classroom, I design with purpose—using design as a tool for connection, representation, and impact. Through projects with student- and community-led organizations like VSA, ASIB, MOUX, MA: E Magazine, AsAm HSC 2025, UVSA Midwest, and Tip & Toes Nail Salon, I’ve explored branding, product design, research, and media to create work that meaningfully serves real communities.

These experiences taught me to love designing collaboratively, navigate constraints, and build with intention. I’m drawn to projects that center on people, culture, and shared experiences, and I love collaborating to create thoughtful, inclusive work.

Moving forward, I hope to contribute creatively to meaningful projects while partnering with others to make a positive impact through design.

More About Me— Beyond UX

I love to explore and make the most of my free time — traveling to new places, going to concerts/ festivals, playing tennis, and hanging out with friends and my two sisters.

I also enjoy doing deep dives into analyzing movies/ media, hunting for trinkets in antique shops, collecting blind box figures, making new playlists, savoring sushi, and creating meaningful memories along the way!

Snippets of my life!
