Donny Trương

Biographical Sketch

As Director of Design & Web Services, Donny Trương leads the law school digital experience with the focus on accessibility and usability. He oversees the law school content management systems to ensure security, stability, and scalability. Shortly after joining Scalia Law in 2011, he redeveloped and redesigned the main law school website from the ground up with the mobile-first approach when responsive design was still in its early stage of adoption.

Trương spends over a decade at Scalia Law transforming the frontend user experience and improving the backend Linux servers. In collaborating with the University Information Technology Services, he developed and architected a network of Scalia Law Sites using WordPress Multisite. Since launched, Scalia Law Sites has powered over 50 sites ranging from research centers to economic institutes to student organizations to faculty personal pages. In addition to digital designs, Trương expands his creative services to print materials designing brochures, postcards, large-scale banners for the school departments including admissions offices, research centers, institutes, and events.

With more than 20 years of designing and developing web experiences, Trương has a deep passion for typography. When the web began to support typefaces beyond the system fonts, he could not find much resources for designing with web fonts; therefore, he wrote Professional Web Typography to fill the void. He also recognized the missing diacritics for the Vietnamese language in typefaces. As a result, he published Vietnamese Typography to expand language support for Vietnamese. Since the release of his book, Trương has been working with type designers and foundries around the world to include Vietnamese diacritics in their type families.

Trương received an MA in graphic design from George Mason University, School of Art and a BA in digital art and multimedia design from La Salle University. When not designing digital experiences, he enjoys snowboarding, skiing, rollerblading, and skateboarding. On weekends during the winter, he teaches snowboarding and skiing at Whitetail Resort.
