About Thy Hà
Pixels by day, vectors by night – that's the rhythm of my creative life.
Hey there! I'm Thy Hà, a digital design enthusiast. By day, I create websites that tell stories through pixels. When night falls, I dive into the world of fonts and typography.
Originally from Sài Gòn, Việt Nam, I now call Naarm (Melbourne), Australia home. As a UX/UI designer and Webflow developer, I love blending digital products with visual storytelling. My focus is on crafting visually pleasing and user-friendly websites, particularly for clients in the educational, cultural, non-profit, and e-commerce sectors.
At night, I'm an aspiring type designer, delving into the rich tapestry of type history and engineering. Through my practice, Mai Type, I craft Vietnamese-localised typefaces, bridging cultural gaps in the digital world. As type design remains Western-centric, I strive to close the dissimilarity gap between markets. Proudly, I'm also a part of Lưu Chữ and Counter Forms.
