Hello! My name is Michelle Tran and I’m an illustrator and designer based in Texas. I attended UT Austin and (in what seems another life) worked in online advertising for over 10 years. It was a career I really loved, but ultimately left to pursue my dream of becoming an illustrator.

So here we are! My work comes from my nostalgia for the wonderment and magic around every corner when you’re a kid. I love drawing inspiration from new people and places, and am forever experimenting with color palettes.

In my free time you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee, reading with my two kids, crafting, cooking, and finding the peaceful moments hidden in each day.
