Ross Tran is an illustrator and concept artist that just recently landed on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. He loved making up characters and worlds as a kid, which is something that hasn't changed much over the years. He began pursuing art more seriously at 16 and moved from San Jose to Los Angeles a year later for a degree in Industrial Design.

By 19 he had worked on his first feature film, Earth to Echo, as a character designer. A while after, he took a break to try his hand at acting, only to find a home on YouTube with his channel RossDraws -- where he makes lots and lots of art.

He is currently working on expanding his studio and is planning to turn his first feature-length book NIMA into an animated series.
