Accepting Work

Hi there, I'm

Amanda

👋🏼🇻🇳🇨🇳🇲🇽⛄️🌴

Amanda Hoang

Product Designer

Creative Technologist

Storyteller

A Midwest-born Californian in Seattle with a penchant for Burmese food and a never-ending bucket list.

WHO I Am

I'm a product designer who thrives on the unknown and all the possibilities that come with turning ambiguity into excitement and functionality.

Experience

I recently completed my Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and Design (MHCI+D) at the University of Washington, where I explored how emerging technologies can enhance accessibility and the way we work and play. Before that, I earned my B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA. For the last 5+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to designing inclusive online and in-person experiences across industries, from leading design in education tech at eKadence to freelancing with startups, food and beverage brands, retail, and medical clients. 

Out of office

Creativity and curiosity fuel everything I do. When I’m OOO, you might find me behind one of my film or vintage cameras, experimenting with new recipes (Southeast Asian cuisine being my favorite), decorating something in a video game, psychoanalyzing a movie, or learning my second and third languages. You might also catch me somewhere in Seattle snapping a (quick!) photo of my food for my Yelp Elite page.

💼 What's in my toolkit:

Superpowers

🔍 Curiosity that connects

I’m always collecting ideas, stories, and bits of knowledge that spark new connections. I enjoy learning across disciplines and using what I find to inspire creative solutions.

🗣️ STORYTELLING THAT SIMPLIFIES

I like finding the right words to make complex ideas feel approachable. Whether it’s through writing, visuals, or conversation, I try to help people see things more clearly.

🧩 FINDING CLARITY IN AMBIGUITY

I’m comfortable when things are undefined and enjoy exploring different paths forward. I like turning open-ended questions into organized, actionable ideas.

🎼 ORCHESTRATING THE MOVING PARTS

I do my best work when balancing people, ideas, and details. I enjoy bringing order to chaos and helping things run more harmoniously without losing flexibility.
