My name is Aileen Tran, and I’m a designer and artist from Portland, Oregon. My love for art began in childhood—through drawing, video games, and making mud pies. I’ve always been drawn to working with my hands and turning imagination into something tangible.

 

By age 12, I was already exploring ceramics, textile weaving, and comic book making. These early passions continued to grow, and I pursued them more deeply while studying Product Design at the University of Oregon. I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a strong focus on ceramics, woodworking, and digital fabrication
