Nhan-Nhi Lillian Nguyen (b. 1996, Honolulu) is a multi-disciplinary designer and artist whose work in ceramics is heavily influenced by her background in architecture. She is interested in the boundaries and potentials of craft in the digital age, which she has manifested as a playful enquiry into how human touch and error can intervene in machine processes.
Exploring the intersection between the machine-made and hand-made, and the relationship between the digital and the analogue, Nguyen is interested in reconnecting design with human touch at a time where the distance between these is often assumed to be expanding under the weight of technological progress.
She received her Bachelors of Architecture from the University of Southern California in 2020 and Masters of Design from Central Saint Martins in 2023.
