LONG DUONG

User Experience & User Interface Designer

PROFILE

Hi, my name is Long Duong, a User Experience / User Interface, & Front-End Designer based in Houston, TX. With a background spanning software, medical, and consulting industries, I bring both strategy and creativity to every project. I believe great design takes complex problems and turns them into simple, intuitive solutions. As a decisive go-getter and thoughtful problem solver, I'm passionate about creating digital experiences that are clear, engaging, and impactful.

RESEARCH DRIVEN

I start with questions. Understanding your audience, their roles, and their challenges is key to uncovering opportunities. My research process builds trust and alignment, ensuring solutions reflect both user needs and business goals.

RAPID PROTOTYPE

Ideas come to life quickly through sketches, interactive prototypes, and mockups. I design layouts, flows, and navigation to tie together concepts, visuals, and interactions — moving seamlessly from paper to polished digital experiences.

INFO ARCHITECTURE

Structure creates clarity. I design and implement information frameworks by studying the audience, strategy, and objectives. From organizing content to defining features and navigation, I translate complexity into easy-to-use, purposeful systems.

USER INTERFACE

I love clean, intuitive design. By translating high-level requirements into flows, wireframes, and polished visuals, I create interfaces that not only look great but feel effortless to use.

USER EXPERIENCE

At the heart of my process is empathy. Using both qualitative and quantitative insights, I identify user needs, pain points, and opportunities — aligning them with business value to deliver experiences that truly resonate.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

I bridge design and development. With hands-on experience across a wide range of coding languages, tools, and technologies, I ensure that the transition from design to build is smooth, practical, and efficient.
