My name is Nguyen Tran, an interior architect with a passion for creating spaces that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. My journey into the world of design began with a Bachelor's degree in Interior Design back in 2016. For three years, I delved into the realm of residential projects, honing my skills and cultivating an eye for detail.
Seeking to broaden my horizons, I pursued further education, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Design in 2022. Alongside my studies, I immersed myself in various professional environments, gaining invaluable experience as a building designer. This diverse background has equipped me with a multifaceted understanding of design principles and project execution.
For almost three years now, I've had the privilege of serving as an associate designer for a prominent commercial interior design firm. During this time, I've had the opportunity to contribute to a range of projects, each presenting its own unique challenges and opportunities for innovation.
My journey has taken me from the vibrant landscapes of New South Wales, where I cultivated my understanding of housing design and construction, to the bustling city of Melbourne, Victoria, where I pursued my studies at Deakin University. I now call a regional area home, drawing inspiration from its rich cultural tapestry and dynamic architectural landscape.
