Vinh Nguyen

Rong Pham and Vinh Nguyen are an illustrator duo based in Saigon, Vietnam. Rong and Vinh have had 8-years of experience working in the publishing and advertising industry. Using mostly digital media, they focus on children's picture books and bookjacket art and have the privilege of working with many publishers locally and internationally, such as Room to Read, Poodle Doodle Press and Scholastic Asia.

The pair love to work with different mediums and so far have created 2 children's books featuring mixed-media and collage techniques. Studying at the HCM University of Fine Arts, Rong pursues a traditional method of art-making in Vietnam, called Son mài, to continue exploring his artistic voice. Rong and Vinh also love nature and adore sentimental moments in family and friendships, which they explore in their art. After spending years researching and taking care of house plants, they have successfully created a small garden where their cats often tap peacefully. The more they understand green plants, the more they appreciate the lives and the biodiversity of trees and creatures on Earth.
