THOUGHTS ON ME

I’ve had the pleasure of being Viet Le’s tutor for two years at Deakin University, and during that time, he has grown into a highly accomplished 3D animator and communication designer. His creativity, passion and imagination consistently shine through in every project. Viet's strong collaborative work ethic and professional approach make him an asset to future employers. His maturity and dedication to refining his craft are evident in the quality of his client-centred work, which demonstrates both technical expertise and creative innovation. Le's professionalism and collaborative spirit will truly enhance any team.

Dr Samantha Edwards-Vandenhoek

Educator, multi-award-winning community-based design researcher and digital media artist

Le is an excellent communication designer and a quality person. He has the aptitude and ability to work effectively across multiple disciplinary platforms, with a wide range of skills and high proficiency in branding, publishing, user experience (UX), user interface (UI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) design. He also possesses exceptional knowledge in the emerging area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it relates to communication design, animation, and film production. Le is a true ‘design thinker,’ combining creativity with technical skill, supported by an enthusiastic approach to design and a proactive attitude. A respectful team player with a high-level work ethic, Le is a pleasure to work with.
