About me
Hi, I'm Vivian Tran a recent graduate and illustrator based in Colorado. I am currently freelancing and searching for roles in UX/UI design.
I recently graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a double major in Computer Science and Japanese Language. While in college, I found interest in user experience and interface design, focusing most of my classes on the visual and design aspect of software. Growing up with games and animation, I felt the entertainment industry was my fit.
I also run my own online store as well as attended conventions to sell my work. On my free time I love playing some games, watching movies and spending time with my two birds.
