HOWDY

Thao (b. 1996) is a graphic designer based in Seattle, by way of Houston. Her design journey started when she first learned how to make a PowerPoint presentation in the third grade (c. 2004).

She went on to graduate with a B.F.A. IN GRAPHIC DESIGN & MINOR IN ART HISTORY (2018). She previously served on the board for AIGA HOUSTON as Education & Mentorship Chair (2020–21) and Programming Chair (2019–20), and for AIGA UIW as Co-President (2017–18). Thao is an Aquarius sun, prefers orange juice with pulp, and color-codes her Google Calendar. After work, she is probably outside. 

Most recently designed in-house for DAGNE DOVER (2021–26), spanning digital, print, and social platforms. Currently looking for a collaborative team of close-knit creatives she can work hard & play hard with <3
