Alexander Dinh
Bio
Alex was born in Vietnam and raised in the Seattle suburb of Lynnwood. He realized his passion for design from an early age. He was drawn to creativity and technology, and enrolled in the graphic arts class on his first day of high school and have been going on since. During SPU, he was very active in AIGA, serving on the board every year. He also worked two design positions for a total of 2.5 years while at SPU. He started out at Fashion for Conservation where he worked for 9 months before joining Pivot NW, a research project at SPU. He is a strong advocate for human-centered design who believes that his work is meant to be a bridge between clients and the solutions to their design problems. That is why he would do intense research prior to design the objective of his work. Then, strategize and ask what he can do to accomplish it. Outside of design, he have many interests about cars, cooking, environmentalism, video games, and technology.

United Liberty
United Liberty is a news/education/research app ideation that I came up with. The app focuses on human rights issues in China. The core component of the app and the use case displayed will be the “News” and the “Issues” functions.

The poster for the release concert of “Urban Epileptic”
While taking the Photo I class, Alex was invited out to be a photographer at one of Counterproductive’s concerts. He did a few shots at a very low shutter speed and the lead singer pointed out that he really liked those photos and that it went well with the band’s style. Shortly after, Alex was commissioned by the band to create a poster for their upcoming release concert in which he decided to utilize the photos.
