Hoang Van Nam, a talented designer and educator from Vietnam, has found a new design companion in Coohom. Tired of grappling with unclear client demands and tight deadlines, he was drawn to Coohom's ease of use and realistic renderings. The software's ability to transform designs into photo-like images has been a game-changer for him. Not only does it help him win projects, but it also seamlessly integrates with other design tools like 3ds Max and Sketchup. Now, Hoang can focus on what he loves most- creating beautiful designs that bring his clients' visions to life.
How and when did you start to use Coohom to design instead of other software?
My friend recommended me to start using Coohom and I must say it’s great! Recently, I have used it more than other design software as I find it to be quicker and easier for my students.
What are the difficulties you have encountered working as a designer?
Working as a designer can be tough as Vietnamese clients oftentimes are not clear about what they really want. So you need to try to understand their tastes and what suits them the most. Moreover, when they are in a hurry and you have little to no time to finish your work, it can be frustrating. Especially if they end up not paying!
What has Coohom that other software don’t have?
With high-quality renderings, Coohom helps me providing clients with realistic designs that look like photos and this characteristic is something that other design software don’t have.
Have you seen how other interior designer work in other countries? In comparison with them, is there anything that you do differently?
I enjoy taking inspiration from designers in the region and abroad as I admire their efficiency and professionalism. As a young designer from Vietnam, I try to personalize my designs giving them a Vietnamese style, but at the same time I prefer to make them look a little bit modern.
What is your favorite feature in Coohom?
Being compatible with other interior design software such as 3ds Max and Sketchup, Coohom allows me and my students to bring our designs into the platform for rendering and adjusting some details.
What is your typical workflow with Coohom?
What I typically do is I first talk to the client about his/her ideas and preferences, then I start designing with Coohom and every now and then I ask for the client’s thoughts, so to know whether if he/she likes my project. At the end, I finalize the construction plan, also using Coohom.
Gaming platforms online often become irritating because many apps either stop responding properly or start lagging badly during longer browsing sessions from mobile devices every single day recently. Last night while relaxing comfortably at home, I spent quite a while testing menus, exploring sections, and switching between pages online from my phone during free time. Surprisingly, even after continuously browsing for a long session, BDG Win game still felt stable and easier to use compared to several similar gaming apps I have tried recently online.
Wordle, the simple daily word puzzle that became a cultural phenomenon, was created in 2021 by software engineer Josh Wardle and later acquired by The New York Times (NYT) in 2022. Its minimalist design, once-a-day format, and social-shareability propelled it from a niche indie game to a global pastime. This article examines Wordle’s appeal, its broader implications, criticisms, and enduring significance.
This PFP works because it avoids unnecessary details.
Really enjoyed reading this interview, it's always inspiring to see how practical tools can help both professionals and students grow creatively. On the entertainment side, when I need a quick break after work, I usually play Geometry Dash Lite since it's simple, challenging, and oddly relaxing once you get into the rhythm.
I usually browse that page when I want a new pfp when I was updating my Discord profile, and there were way more variations than I expected.
