Hi! My name is Zig Nguyen.

I was born in 1987 in beautiful country- Vietnam, graduated from Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Art in 2010. Since then, I have spent 4 years working in the field of Graphics (Printing, Advertising, Events, Website...) and 9 years working in the High Fashion industry (especially Leather Accessories).

Although my work is very good, but my endless passion is still for handmade like: paper flower, sewing, knitting, crocheting… and embroidery. However, finally, I choose "Modern Embroidery" as my last destination because it meets what I want for my career:

1. Unlimited creativity: I can draw and make whatever I want

2. Can be applied to many different products: Bags, Wallets, Clothes, Home Decoration…

3. Can make full use of my graphic skills

4. Satisfy my love of nature and plants, this is also the topic that often appears in my embroidery design

I started to consider embroidery as a serious career in early 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out all over the world. This could also be a turning point in my thinking about life, family and work. There are too many people who had to leave this life at that bad time when there is no vaccine or cure, they also have ambitions, dreams... that have not been realized or are still unfinished. That makes me more aware of time, about the "only one life” of the present. So I think I should do what I really love, really inspiring “enjoyment”, really "living" and “chilling out” in this hectic daily life.

Then during the time of social distancing, when staying at home, I started to draw and embroider, practice and make videos by myself, first to satisfy my passion, then to share with more people who loves embroidery too.

Hand embroidery for me is like meditation, it gives me a feeling of calmness, serenity, and happiness in a gentle way in each stitch.

And I started thinking about sharing my lesson to the beginners (as me before) can learn and follow in the easiest way.

I also have more time to take care of my social networking accounts, have more friends with the same interests and the number of followers has also increased since then, I can't believe it's over 100,000 people now. And I’ve received a lot of compliments and thanks from them, which motivates me to design more quality embroidery and videos.
