Chi

Hello! I'm Chi Tran. I'm a UI/UX designer, web developer and visual artist studying HCDE @UW. As a queer Vietnamese tattooist and photographer, I'm passionate about creating bold, practical designs for the QTBIPOC community, artists and art enthusiasts. I also dabble in mechatronics, game design and visual deception (Fun fact: this site's background is different shades of light green but some parts show up pink!).

let's connect!
