Fortunes
By: GB Tran
Judy Le didn’t have an easy start at life. Already a war refugee at two years old, she had overcome impossible odds by making it to the United States with her family.
But in this new land, the Le family gambled more than just their survival. Traditions, like Tết, faced extinction when confronted by acculturation to the American lifestyle.
Read on to see the sacrifices Judy had to make to be successful, and what success has come to mean to her.

I’m an art director, designer, illustrator and cartoonist highly regarded for incredible multi-disciplinary talents by my son. Alternatively, my daughter says all I do is move things around on a computer. Take your pick.
The creative intersection of visuals and story is where I love to spend my time, and I’m most excited for collaborative projects that help clients grow their brand and vision through deep connection with their audience.
