About

Hi, I’m Trung.

I’m Lại Quốc Trung — a Design Studies student and young freelance illustrator. I balance studying at two schools alongside outside work, so I’ve learned to manage my time flexibly and stay self-driven under a constant workload.

Though I study design, I’ve always wanted to express myself more through illustration — driven by a love of drawing and a constant push to grow. I specialise in character concepts with diverse anatomy, especially powerful, muscular physiques.
