BIOGRAPHY
Minh-Tri Dang
(pronounced "min-jee")
If I could have a superpower, it would be the ability to fully communicate with anyone and everyone. I think this is the ultimate goal for any creative; to divulge an idea or feeling and the desire to be understood back by a community. To me, the visual arts are the pinnacle of communication and the study of design is about engineering communication. How does something make me feel? Why do I feel this way? What is it doing to make feel this way? These are all questions, consciously or not, that I ask myself when working or critiquing.
I was born and raised in Indiana; my parents were war refugees from Vietnam. Since my dad was an electrical engineer, technology has always played a big part in my life. As my interest diversified, I developed a taste for the fine arts in high school. Design is the bridge between all of my various interests and in my work, I hope to bring my love of history, culture, and technology with a flare for the dramatic and introspection.
