About Thy Hà
A little bit about Thy
Pixels by day, vectors by night. This is the rhythm of my creative life.
I'm Thy Hà (she/her), a Vietnamese UX/UI designer, type designer, and Webflow developer based in Naarm (Melbourne). I create websites for educational, cultural, non-profit, public and technology sectors.
Through my practice, Mai Type, I collaborate with type foundries and designer on Vietnamese-localised typefaces, bridging cultural gaps in a Western-centric industry. I'm also a proud member of Lưu Chữ and Counter Forms.
Currently, I’m exploring why Cooper Black became a national phenomenon in Vietnam—because it just did!
