hi again!

Just in case you forgot, my name is Michelle Tran Bui, and thanks for exploring my site!

a little about me

I graduated from UCLA in 2022 with a B.A. in Psychology, but am originally from the Riverside area in Southern California. As a Vietnamese-American, I’ve grown up pretty involved with my culture and participated in UVSA, or the Union of Vietnamese Student Associations to lead the Tết Festival held annually in Orange County, CA. Besides directing a festival with more than tens of thousands of visitors in the span of one weekend, I also am a nationally ranked powerlifter, love my cat Doja, occasionally do professional photography, and love to ride my motorcycle.

This is just a glimpse into who I am, so if you’d like to learn more about why I enjoy designing, what empathy means to me, or just to chat about cats, please feel free to email me at michelletranbui@g.ucla.edu or to add me on LinkedIn and/or Facebook!
