Hi there, nice to meet you!
My name is Chuong , and I am a versatile Product Designer with a focus on Multimodal Interaction, Voice AI and Strategy.
With a strong foundation in engineering and experience across entertainment, technology, and healthcare, I specialize in designing intuitive, scalable products that meet product-market fit. I excel in leading international, cross-functional projects that empower organizations to deliver high-quality, consistent customer experiences across platforms and modalities. My approach blends data-aware insights with creativity, fostering innovation and collaboration.
Check out my work ↓
“What Can I Say?” Voice Education
Content Strategy ✴︎ Workshop Facilitation ✴︎ Visual Design ✴︎ Experiment Building
The Xfinity Voice Education project, lasting four months, aimed to boost customer engagement and retention by enhancing how first-time customers learn about voice commands. As Design Lead, I conducted research and competitive analysis, hosted workshop, leading to a pivot from creating a full new experience to improving the existing "What Can I Say?" (WCIS) feature.
We refined both the content strategy and visual design of the WCIS experience, resulting in a 20% to 70% increase in promoted voice commands. The insights gained from this project informed future product initiatives, and my visual treatment was adopted across multiple Xfinity interfaces.
Xfinity Hands-free Remote Setup
Multimodal Interaction ✴︎ Visual Design ✴︎ Prototype Building ✴︎ Usability Testing
The Xfinity Hands-Free Remote project aimed to expand the TV from an entertainment hub to home control and beyond, enabling hands-free device management through voice commands. As the Lead Designer, I guided the design process, collaborated with cross-functional teams, facilitated workshops to define design principles, created mockups, and wrote technical design documents. I also led usability testing to identify pain points and worked with the prototyping team to iterate on solutions.
A major achievement was improving the clarity of the setup process through a redesigned Getting Started Guide (GSG) and an FTUE video, which received positive user feedback. The insights gained from this project will inform future innovations in hands-free smart home technology.
PhillyCHI Rebranding & Design Leadership
Leadership ✴︎ Team Management ✴︎ Brand Strategy ✴︎ Visual Design
The PhillyCHI rebranding project aimed to refresh the organization’s visual identity for its 15th anniversary. As the 2020 Chair and Creative Director, I led the initiative to redefine the brand strategy, update the mission statement, and establish core values. Working with a team of designers, we developed a bold and flexible visual system inspired by Philadelphia’s neighborhoods and murals.
Key achievements included aligning the brand with PhillyCHI’s values—Inclusion, Connection, Relevance, and Compassion—while creating a new visual identity that reflects the organization’s mission and future growth.
