Hi, I’m Anh.

I’m a design engineer based in Vancouver, BC. I’m passionate about building delightful user interfaces that feel intuitive for everyone.

Right now, I’m rounding rectangles at Luma and thinking about the intersection between powerful tools and approachable interfaces.

Progressive Blur

Design & Engineering

Last month, I released my first Figma plugin called Progressive Blur. It allows designers to add a blur effect that ramps up like a gradient to their designs.

Luma Polaroid

Design & Engineering

This month, for Luma’s new Polaroid theme, I designed and implemented a custom frame for event pages featuring a stack of draggable Polaroids, creative “holding” elements like paperclips, and auto-populated event dates on the photos.

Luma Event Page

Product Design

Our team at Luma launched the iOS version of the app in 2022. As part of this effort, I designed the event page—the core of our user experience. I wanted it to feel native to iOS while preserving a unique identity for each event. The page features a dynamic background that adapts to the event’s cover image, so that every event feels distinct. I also integrated iOS-specific features like the WeatherKit API, providing weather forecasts to help guests plan better.

At Luma, I also led a variety of visual design projects. My work included creating a suite of eye-catching empty state icons, developing 3D renderings of iconic cities like New York and San Francisco for the launch of Luma Discover, and designing custom icons for various global destinations.

Guest Notes

Product Design

My most recent product design project is Guest Notes. This feature allows event hosts to share important attendee information with their co-hosts, making it easier to coordinate and personalize the event experience

The user interface of Guest Notes for event co-hosts and calendar admins. It displays comments from two events: Toronto Run Club and Run^3, where Josh and Michael discuss a participant who wore a banana suit at their running events.The user interface of Guest Notes for event co-hosts and calendar admins.

Luma Discover

Visual Design

Over the past year, Luma has launched discovery pages showcasing events in various cities. As part of this launch, I curated representative images for each city and designed more than 30 custom icons depicting local landmarks.
