Tran Nguyen

Graphic Designer

Garden Grove, CA, USA
I don’t consider art a habit or a hobby. It's an essential part of my identity, and therefore, I take my art very seriously. I pay attention to little details that will make a big difference. I make sure everything I do meet its requirements before showing it to the world. Most importantly, I value presentation: it's how an artist show respect to their audience and themselves.
