Anh Do is a multidisciplinary designer, educator, visual artist, and researcher specialising in visual communication design. She has more than 17 years of academic experience in Vietnam, including teaching, curriculum development, and leadership roles in art and design education, before relocating to Adelaide in 2024. Currently a PhD candidate at the School of Art and Design, Adelaide University, she investigates the historical development, visual characteristics, and significance of Vietnamese typographic forms, with particular attention to the challenges and opportunities posed by a monosyllabic, tonal language system. Through a combination of archival research, visual analysis, and a design approach, she seeks to contribute to new knowledge of Vietnamese display typography and develop informed approaches to its practice and application.
