Hello, I'm Quan!
I am a Vietnamese-born award-winning designer and illustrator based in Orlando, Florida. As a Sam Houston State University graduate and a Disney Graphic Designer, I possess a passion for executing unique and memorable creative projects in innovative ways. With a strong focus on creativity, I have gained versatile expertise through my experience.
Throughout my journey, I have discovered that design serves as a visual medium to communicate messages, create stories, and provide interactive experiences. My abilities with designing have gained my passion for design through the process of researching concepts and developing prototypes.
In addition to my love for design and solving problems, I am also passionate about making videos, capturing photography, and learning lots of languages allowing me to connect with diverse audiences in many challenging ways. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunities that I have had in the field of design, and I remain committed to making a positive impact each day.
