VIVY HA (B. 2000) IS A VIRGINIA-BASED PRODUCT AND UX/UI DESIGNER.

​

HER WORK CAPTURES THE COMPLEX AND EVER-GROWING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND TECHNOLOGY. WITH A DEEPLY EMPATHETIC TOUCH, SHE WORKS TO ENHANCE EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE TWO.

​

VIVY LEARNED THE VALUE OF PURPOSEFUL INTERACTIONS AT A YOUNG AGE. FROM BEING 7 AND HELPING HER MOM AT THE NAIL SALON TO VOLUNTEERING AT LOCAL NURSERY HOMES AT 17, SHE UNDERSTOOD HER ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS. COUPLED WITH GROWING UP DURING THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, SHE FOUND THAT MUCH OF HER HELP REVOLVED AROUND ENSURING THE PEOPLE AROUND HER WERE USING TECHNOLOGY TO ITS GREATEST CAPACITY, AS IT INITIALLY PRESENTED A HARDSHIP AND BARRIER.

​

DESIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PERSONAL AND EXPLORATORY COMPONENT OF HER LIFE. HER UPBRINGING WAS NEVER SHORT OF CREATIVITY, WITH HER FATHER BEING A FULL-TIME DESIGNER AND HER MOM BEING A 90'S FASHION ICON, IT WAS INEVITABLE FOR VIVY’S CREATIVE SENSIBILITIES TO BLOSSOM. FORMING BEAUTY IN DIFFERENT MEDIUMS, FROM FASHION TO FLORAL ARRANGEMENT, HAS BECOME A KEY PART OF HER DOPAMINE MENU.

​

HER LOVE FOR DESIGN AND HER NEED TO BUILD PURPOSEFUL INTERACTIONS CONTINUED INTO COLLEGE, WHERE SHE WAS EXPOSED TO THE WORLD OF USER EXPERIENCE. THUS BEGAN A CAREER FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT AND PASSION. BEYOND HER CRAFT, HER HEART IS ALSO FULFILLED BY IMPLEMENTING HEALTHY HABITS, HER FURRY BEST FRIEND 'STELLA', COOKING, AND FOREIGN HORROR FILMS.
