Minh-Tâm Nguyễn Đức

Vietnam

Dear judges and competition organizers, My name is Tâm, but you can call me Tammietan. I am currently a last year student specialized in Industrial Design at Tôn Đức Thắng University, Ho Chi Minh City. I am orginaly from Saigon, Vietnam; a vietnamese southern kid. In my major, I have had the chances to work with various materials such as leather, clay (pottery/sculpture), plastic, plaster, wood, resin, bio-derived material, and so many more. I have to say that I always love the feeling when I finish my personal project and be a part of the manufacturing stage, meaning I love to make/craft the product myself as much as possible. Speaking of the specialized skills in design like sketching, researching, ideation, 3d modeling, making prototype, I am confident that I can manage them all well. However, because most of the types of products I have made in my uni life were my first time/first experience making them so if I do it again I will need a bit more time to self-taught and do some research to get use to it again, but it won’t be a big problem. My strength is anything that involves task solving, I must say I am a task-making-holic. Moreover, my working experiences from 2021 to 2025 includes, marketing executive at The Freckles Studios (a local fashion brand), fabric doll crafter at Endless Vacation (a gift shop), gift & product wrapper at Maison Marou (a chocolate shop), copywriter - design intern - design executive at NEO Studio (an industrial design studio).
