Vo’s career spans over 15 years across advertising, contemporary art, and curatorial practice. As Head of Media Arts and Artistic Director at X+P-collective, she leads experimental storytelling platforms and cross-disciplinary collaborations that blur the boundaries between media, memory, and consumer culture. Her earlier career in global brand strategy and creative direction earned industry recognition, though her true interest always lay in using commercial platforms to explore cultural complexity and soft resistance.

Curatorial projects include A Village Before USÌý(John David Mooney Foundation, Chicago, 2023), Friction: Open Studio Nights (SAIC, 2023), and See Your Tết Sound (HCMC, 2024).
