My name is Phuong Dao and I am a Furniture Designer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
I prefer to keep the balance between artistic works and manufacture; how to use design as a main factor in mass production.
​
The more I go, the more I want to contribute to my career and to nurture the creativity of creating useful things for my community and the nature. Life is a journey, and such I am pursuing my dream to become an entrepreneur in the furniture industry, and to design lovely and environmentally friendly products.
I believe product design with industrialization makes a huge impact on the environment, economy and society. According to UNICEF, Vietnam is one of the sixth most vulnerable countries to climate change, with children and women particularly at risk.
​
As a designer, that problem reminds me that I need to do something to make a change for a better environment and community through my working contribution.
For me, designers play an important role in any industry because we have the ability to bring creativity, becoming a motivation for innovation in the production process and technique. Building a sustainable business system with good designs and friendly material is my entire focus in the future.
