Illustration
Hi, I’m Jaden! I'm a Vietnamese-American illustrator and visual development artist based in Southern California. Nostalgia is at the heart of my practice. I draw from personal memories, inherited stories, and overlooked everyday moments to explore the bittersweet nature of growing up and holding on. Storytelling is the foundation of every aesthetic decision I make, and color plays a central role in my process. Inspired by cinematic visuals and playful shapes, my work balances emotional depth with lightness. My art is for the romantics, the quiet thinkers, and the ones who feel the weight of simply existing. With experience across various mediums and a passion for collaboration, I thrive in creative teams that value storytelling, sincerity, and meaningful connection.
