Explore the World of Digital Design with Dat Truong
Hello! ✌️
I’m Dat Truong, a UX Designer with a unique background that blends US military experience, international business insight, and a passion for design thinking. My journey into UX began in Belgium during an Erasmus+ project, leading me to pursue formal training and earning multiple certifications in UX/UI Design.
Currently, I am working as a freelancer and independent contractor, based mainly in Poland. My lifestyle and work are tailored around the flexibility of remote engagements, which is crucial as I frequently travel. While I thrive on freelance projects, I am also open to full-time positions that offer remote opportunities in the U.S. or both remote and in-person options in Poland.
My focus lies in creating user-centric designs that solve real-world problems. Outside of design, I enjoy video games and staying active. Driven by the challenge of designing solutions that positively impact people’s lives, I aim to make a significant difference through my work in UX.
