A film about
Nee
For me, a portfolio shouldn’t just show the projects you’ve created; it should reveal the person behind them. My path as a leader in sustainable business isn’t just a career choice—it’s how I’ve lived my life. Welcome to the film of my leadership journey and the lessons that have shaped me.
Directed byDương Phùng Thị Thùy – Nee

Hi, My name is Duong, you can call me Nee, like ‘knee’ without k.
I was born and grew up in Pleiku city, a small city in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. But my journey didn’t end there. I stepped out into the wider world when I was 17 and it’s still going…
I am a volunteer English teacher, I am a vice director in a sustainable tourism company. I am a founder of an ecolodge. But moreover, I am Nee.

The line I live by
Be yourself, but don’t become full of yourself. Never let your ego blind you to the people walking beside you
