a bit about me

Hi there, and thank you for visiting my portfolio and exploring my work. I’m Sonny Trinh, a second-year Architecture student at Northeastern University, and I’ve been designing themed entertainment experiences for the past nine years.

My work focuses on roller coasters, theme park experiences, and hospitality and entertainment spaces, while extending into a wide range of interdisciplinary projects. I place particular emphasis on detail, atmosphere, and visual grace, considering everything from sound design, structural stress simulation, sightlines, and guest circulation to environmental elements such as scent.

Ultimately, my goal is to create immersive worlds that feel not only believable and thoughtfully engineered, but alive—spaces that invite curiosity, emotion, and a sense of escape.
