About me

Designer. Illustrator. Lifelong Learner. Animal Lover. Plant Lady. Foodie. Bookaholic.

I'm a Vietnamese-born, currently based and work as a designer and illustrator in Wisconsin, US.

Throughout my life, I've met and learned from so many people whose stories and talents have become my inspiration and motivation for pursuing creativity as a career. I enjoy solving problem and communicating through visual experiences, as well as connecting people and enhance their experiences through human-centered design. Being a designer, I always seek to advance my creative thinking and communication skills, as well as opportunities to develop and progress as a future leader.​

While growing as a designer, I developed an interest in illustration and began my journey as a children's book illustrator. Learn more about my first children's book project - The Pale Pickle here.

As a lifelong learner, I aim to constantly improve my mindset, expertise and look forward to gradually advancing my career and becoming a better person.
