Leadership Experience

ArtexDonor | A fundraising initiative using art as a tool for advocacy and supporting the reintegration of children rescued from cross-border trafficking                                                       

Founder & Director                                                    Nov 2024 – Present

I founded ArtexDonor with a simple belief: art can heal, connect, and create change.

Leading a team of 11 students, we turned this belief into action—organizing creative workshops and fundraising exhibitions to support children rescued from trafficking. Through projects like “Empowering Dreams – Art & Craft Day”, we created spaces where creativity meets compassion, and where every brushstroke carries a story of hope and renewal.

ArtexDonor is more than a initiative—it’s my commitment to building a world where art becomes a bridge to healing, and where leadership means designing with both heart and purpose.

Arkeytect For Future  |  A student club dedicated to inspiring youth in architecture, design, and creative spatial thinking.

Founder & Director                                            Aug 2023 – Present

I founded Arkeytect For Future to bridge the gap between architecture and the next generation. We’re not just studying buildings – we’re exploring the stories they tell and the lives they shape.

We’ve created a community where young people can learn about how spaces affect people’s experiences through hands-on workshops, visits to architectural sites with the Dong Nai Architects Association, and research publications. We’re planting the seeds for a more thoughtful, human-centered way of building things, where every structure has a purpose and not just a function.

Hole In One Golf | to share knowledge, advance golf understanding, and foster an academic community around the sport                                                                                                                                

Founder & President                                              Oct 2024 – Present

I came up with Hole In One Golf because I was interested in how golf courses are designed. They are places where strategy, precision, and nature all come together.
As the founder, I lead a team of six in creating a learning community that connects theory and practice through workshops and one-on-one help.
We also talk about the focus and strategic thinking that golf teaches.

🧱 BUILDING DREAMS, BRICK BY BRICK

LEGO taught me how to build. Architecture will teach me why.

As a child, I could spend hours building cities out of LEGO — not just stacking blocks, but imagining how people might live, move, and feel inside those tiny spaces. What began as play soon became a quiet fascination: how structure, light, and form could shape emotion. LEGO taught me to think in dimensions — to see how every small element contributes to a greater whole. It trained my eyes for balance, proportion, and spatial logic long before I understood what “design” truly meant. That early curiosity evolved into a deeper passion for architecture — a field where creativity meets purpose, and where the imagination of childhood can become tangible reality. I hope to carry that same sense of wonder into my architectural studies: designing spaces that inspire connection, playfulness, and a sense of belonging — brick by brick.

Sport

⛳ PRECISION, BALANCE, AND SPACE

Golf taught me to design not only with vision, but with calm precision — where every line and space has purpose.

Golf is often seen as a sport of patience, but for me, it’s a quiet dialogue between the mind, the body, and the environment. Every swing demands precision — a harmony between geometry, rhythm, and space. It’s a discipline that trains my focus and heightens my awareness of proportion, distance, and balance — principles that resonate deeply with architecture. On the course, I’ve learned how landscape and design shape experience. The contours of the fairway, the placement of trees, and the curve of the green all tell stories of intentional design — where aesthetics meet function. That understanding has inspired me to see architecture as more than form: it’s an experience of flow, balance, and mindfulness.
