Statement
Graphic design to Quynh Mai is a method of conveying messages to viewers in an easy to understand and impressive way. She likes minimalism style and the way it attracts viewers with its simplicity. However, she does not let herself remain in one design style, she always tries a lot of different design styles to be suitable for many different types of customers. Design to her is skill not just talent. A famous painting can bring countless thoughts in the minds of viewers. And these thoughts may not even be controlled by the artist who made the work. But with graphic design, the work needs to convey the correct message to the viewer and leave an impression in its own way.
