Having lived and worked in Hong Kong, Huyen brings a deep appreciation for collaborating with people of diverse backgrounds to achieve a common goal. She believes that good design—whether it be a large complex project or a finely crafted home—is rooted in striking a balance between the expression of place, expression of craft, and meeting the needs of the client.
