My name is Tran Thi Bich Ngoc, you can call me Ngoc Tran.

Born in 1981, I am currently the Creative Director of Interactive Creatives, a company specializing in branding design and media content production. I live and work in the vibrant city of Saigon, where the hustle and bustle of life constantly inspires my artistic creativity and passion for food.

My career began as a graphic designer and photographer. My creative skills have helped me create works for many large and small clients, but deep down I always wanted to combine my passion for food with my work.
In 2015, I decided to pursue my dream by writing my first cookbook, “EASY TO COOK: 40 DELICIOUS VIETNAMESE DISHES AS LISTED BY CNN”. The book is a harmonious combination of photography, design, and my love of cooking. The joy of sharing delicious food and culinary stories with people is a great motivation for me to continue on this path.

My mission is to bring people amazing culinary experiences through beautiful images, engaging stories, and easy-to-follow recipes. I believe that food is an essential part of culture and lifestyle, a bridge between people and people, between past and present.

With my creativity, passion, and knowledge, I hope to contribute to introducing the beauty of Vietnamese cuisine to the world, so that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy and experience the unique quintessence of this diverse and rich culinary culture.
