About
Nicole Trang
Art Director from Vietnam, trained and first employed in Singapore, working remotely with teams worldwide.
For 15 years I've worked across advertising production, brand identity, graphic and motion design, 3D and digital painting. I've led in-house creative teams for mobile games and education brands, and I bring a business owner's view to every project: clear ideas, tidy production and attention to detail.
Today my focus is concept-led campaigns produced with generative AI, directed and finished by hand.
