Nhan-Nhi Lillian Nguyen

Nhan-Nhi Lillian Nguyen is a multi-disciplinary designer and artist from Honolulu, Hawaii. She received her Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California in 2020 and Master of Design degree from Central Saint Martins, London, in 2023. Lily has been a versatile member of our team, having worked on many architecture, furniture, social media, and graphic design projects at MADWORKSHOP.

During her teenage years at Punahou School, she founded her first business on Etsy called BonjourLily, making hand-made headbands. Toward the end of her USC School of Architecture studies, she reignited her passion for ceramics, leading her to further her design studies in London.

Lily has now established her own design and art practice. Her current work in 3D printed ceramics is heavily influenced by her undergraduate studies in architecture. She is primarily interested in material transformations and 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.

Lily’s works have been featured in Seventeen, Vogue, London Design Week, London Craft Week, HIVE, and UAL: Showcase.
