Sleepland | Speculative Design & Product Design (2025)

Sleepland is a speculative project that explores the relationship between hustle culture and sleeping habits. It aims to question the imbalance between work and life, and to redefine sleep—not as a privilege, but as a new form of wealth.

The project imagines an alternative world where sleep is no longer a luxury, but the foundation of life, economy, and design. In Sleepland, success is not measured by how much you grind, but by how well you restore.

Through the Sleepland mobile app and the RestWatch wearable tracker, this project encourages younger generations to pay closer attention to their sleep quality and supports them in building healthier sleep habits.


Research Context
Vietnam’s young generation faces escalating pressures from a hyper-competitive, urbanizing economy, reflecting late capitalism’s hallmarks—corporate dominance, gig work, and commodified lifestyles. Research indicates rising sleep deprivation (averaging 6 hours/night among 18-25-year-olds, per 2023 Hanoi health surveys) and heavy caffeine reliance (cà phê sữa đá consumption up 30% since 2020, Vietnam Coffee Association). These trends correlate with burnout, anxiety, and financial precarity, exacerbated by late-night scrolling and hustle culture.

Fungià | Speculative Design (2025)

Fungià is a mycelial living database designed to preserve, evolve, and share the intergenerational wisdom of Vietnam’s aging population. Inspired by the resilience and connectivity of mycelium, Fungià serves as a bridge between elders and younger generations, enabling the seamless transmission of stories, cultural knowledge, and life lessons.


Research Context
As Vietnam faces a rapid demographic shift toward an aging society, Fungià addresses the pressing need to honor and sustain the voices of elders while fostering meaningful connections across generations. This bio-organic system encodes human experiences into a dynamic, sustainable network, mirroring the organic growth of knowledge over time.

By transforming urban spaces into living archives of collective memory, Fungià redefines how communities value aging, respect their elders, and celebrate the beauty of shared wisdom. Rooted in the principles of sustainability and cultural reverence, Fungià envisions a future where knowledge is not just preserved but thrives, growing as a vibrant legacy for all.

Toi Ben (To The Station) | Immersive Experience Design & UX/UI Design & Mobile App

Toi Ben is an immersive experience implemented during the second stage of the Interactive Design Stream. Along with EBUSTA Mobile App above, it employs technology and design in public spaces to enrich the experience of travelers at the Eastern Bus Station (Ben Xe Mien Dong), fostering a sense of tranquility through a multi-sensory immersive design.


Mobile Application
EBUSTA is a mobile app designed for individuals aged 20 to 25 navigating the Eastern Bus Station. It addresses challenges such as station navigation, lengthy and cumbersome processes, and the absence of an information system and entertainment options for passengers waiting for their buses.

Design Challenge
My target clients are those whose age ranges from 20-25. They have difficulties in navigating the station, waiting for the long and unneccessary process. They want to have a clear system of information to know fixed schedule, fixed price and many other information happening in the station. Moreover, there is an urge to have some kinds of entertainment to kill the waiting time.

Design Solution
Following my personas’ expectations, needs and frustrations, I summed up and addressed my design challenges which
focus on:

(1) navigation
(2) entertainment while waiting
(3) ticket-buying process (from booking to getting on the bus)
(4) a consistent system of information

Softwares used:
