Role: Brand Communications


When Rice Studios joined Base Design’s global network in late 2025 to establish Base Design Saigon, the transition required tight cross-border alignment and strategic communication.

I managed cross-border communications to bridge the local Saigon team with global headquarters in Brussels.

  • Cross-Border Coordination: Maintained the global communication calendar and synchronized production schedules between Saigon and Brussels to ensure on-time campaign execution.
  • Global Alignment: Led regional status updates and served as the key operational bridge between local designers, strategists, and international executive leadership.
  • Content Adaptation & Localization: Drafted, localized, and published social content and B2B case studies on global channels and the Base Design CMS platform.
  • Brand Guardianship: Reviewed and polished all regional communications to ensure absolute alignment with Base Design’s global tone of voice and quality standards.
  • Merger Communications: Executed localized rollout materials and internal updates for the official Rice x Base Design regional merger.
