About

Hi, I’m Sylvie Viet-Dung Pham, an illustrator and designer who loves bringing stories to life with playful color and expressive characters. I specialize in creating illustrations and graphic designs for children’s books and publications, and I enjoy collaborating with authors to develop concepts, storyboards, and visual elements that support a story’s voice.

I’m a team player with exceptional listening and communication skills, comfortable drafting thumbnails through to final color, and I’m experienced in formatting layouts and typography. My work spans publishing, exhibitions, and self-published series, and I’m passionate about making meaningful, accessible art for diverse audiences.
