At the University of California at Berkeley, Duc earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) while also studying business administration at the Haas School of Business. The EECS and business courses combined to hone his technical skills and logistical understanding. Along with his years as a campus tour guide, interacting with a large group of diverse people, Duc's technical, business, and people skills combine with his artistry to provide a complete, versatile photographer like no other.
