About me
Nearly two decades of experience in pixel alchemy: graphic design, motion graphics, photography, videography, branding, and marketing
Quick Introduction
Just get it out of the way, my name is pronounced \ˈfē\ˈwin\. First and foremost, I’m a father and a husband in addition to that I’m an all-around geek who loves his movies, shows, games and a myriad of other things. I’m first generation Vietnamese-American who grew up in my parent’s restaurant (the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado Springs). I’ve always had a natural knack for design and technology so pursuing it as a career was an obvious choice early in life.
I’m quite reserved upon first impressions but it may be because I’m extremely observant (possibly to a fault) but once I get my ‘sea legs’ I can be extremely accommodating. I love to love things, it’s in my nature to obsess and tinker to understand workings inside and out and can get totally inspired when I see real passion from others regardless if I know about the subject or not.
Thank you for taking the time to peruse the site, don’t forget to checkout my personal work where it’s just stuff I do for my own sake.
A brief history
I’m well-seasoned in all four corners of the design industry: freelance, corporate, agency, and small business.
Over the last 20 years I’ve worked with small startups all the way to Fortune-500 companies. I’m extremely proficient in the all of the core Adobe Creative Cloud apps and have an eye for detail like none other.
I’ve vast experience with compressed timelines and constant pivoting, so management is second nature to me. I’ve learned to switch mindsets on a dime to be empathic to quickly adapt to vastly different client needs, understanding what my client wants has to be the most important part of my work.
This field is not just work for me, it’s a passion – creative since I could hold a crayon only to grow up to live and breathe the Adobe Creative Suite, I even rock some patches of the apps on my daily-carry-backpack!
