            Giang Nguyen is a Creative Director, Designer/Artist, Academic, and Entrepreneur working across disciplines. Rarely spotted in the wild, his natural habitats are at a design firm called Behalf, which he founded and leads, or RMIT University Vietnam, where he teaches digital media. He always explores creative territories, frequently examines heritage/digitality relationships, and seldom gets enough sleep. He is based in Saigon (HCMC), Vietnam.

Beyond commercial pursuits, Giang’s work delicately navigates the border between art and design. His thematic exploration often delves into the mapping of intangible data, the nexus of creative culture and community, historic preservation in the digital age, and the identities of cities and urban environments. His work is expressed through a versatile array of media, including graphic prints, publications, type design, creative coding, and digital experiences, to name a few. 

TALKS/LECTURES

            He has delivered numerous talks and workshops, including at the London Design Biennale (2018), Type Directors Club (2021), and the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design (2019–present). Additionally, he has presented and conducted workshops at various institutions such as RMIT University (Vietnam), Fulbright University (Vietnam), Bangkok University (Thailand), and Leicester University (UK).
