Hello!

My name is Cindy Tran and I am an illustrator based in Lancaster, PA, where I earned my BFA at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in 2020. I work mainly in publishing, editorial, and illustrative design.

I'm a digital illustrator who loves to paint dreamy, colorful scenes and subjects, and my biggest style inspiration comes from gouache and watercolor paint. I especially enjoy creating illustrations that will be put physically out into the world—be it as book or album covers, packaging, or posters!

As a Vietnamese American, I take pride in my heritage and use the hard work and legacy I've inherited from my parents to inform my work ethic and workflow. I’m passionate about doing what I love while also helping to create a more colorful world with greater POC and LGBTQIA+ representation!

I'm also a deep lover of music and all things lovely, pretty, and magical! Music plays a huge part in my daily life so I often have work that’s inspired by different albums and song lyrics. You’ll find my style to be quite dreamy, floral, and celestial in nature and it’s all thanks to the anime I grew up with, like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura.
