About me

I’m Tommy Mai, a fourth-year Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati. Growing up in Hanoi, Vietnam, with Japanese parenting, I developed a passion for well-crafted products and a deep sense of care for people. I approach every project with discipline, responsibility, and a drive to push my limits, enabling me to contribute meaningfully and build trust within teams.Outside of design, I enjoy playing tennis, practicing Mandarin, cooking Vietnamese and Japanese dishes, and taking a moment to admire the beauty of the sky ⛅.
