ANNIE NGUYEN – Design Director, Los Angeles
Alex Rückheim
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i, Annie Nguyen now lives and works in Los Angeles. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design, she spent several years in marketing and advertising. Today, Annie works as a Design Director specialised in branding, identity, marketing strategy and product consulting.
When she’s not working or writing about music for Space&Sound – a music and art collective that she co-created with some of her friends – she’s a hobbyist photographer. Annie’s photography is largely influenced by her passion for architecture, fashion and designer products, as you’ll notice when scrolling through her work below.
Besides that, she’s currently working on a ‘dynamic connection channel’ called Since I Left You that she set up with some of her colleagues. The aim with this project is to create connections with people both living in Hawai'i and abroad, and to keep these conversations going. “This project is intended to give back to Hawai'i, my home, by providing stories of those who have moved away from the islands and what they are doing now”, explains Annie.
We surely will hear a lot from her in the future, not least because Annie has some really exciting project releases coming up. So make sure to keep an eye out.
