Kim Thái Nguyễn is a Vietnamese American illustrator, designer, and artist. Born and raised in a Midwest town, she is currently based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Common themes in her art include food, pop culture, and exploring her cultural identity as a child of refugees.

When she’s not drawing digitally for others, she’s designing and selling merch, finding community through zines and personal work, and experimenting with ink and paint. 

Outside of art, she enjoys reading comics, basking in the sun, binge-watching shows, and drooling over baked goods.
