Lora Tran is a dynamic Senior Art Director whose creative spark lights up the FIVE19 team. Raised in Stafford, Virginia, she moved to Richmond to earn a bachelor’s in mass communications with a focus on creative advertising from VCU, and she continues to call RVA’s Lakeside her home.

Drawn to the fusion of art and business, she finds inspiration in smart, simple ads that resonate emotionally and shape perspectives beyond sales. With an iced matcha or coffee at the start of the day, Lora dives into designing marketing emails, direct mail, print campaigns, brochures or websites. She thrives on the adrenaline of deadlines, where unexpected creative solutions often shine, likening client wins to a buzzer-beating basket. 

Outside of work, Lora is a devoted mother of two energetic twins, and she enjoys park outings with her family and thrift shopping on the weekends. In her downtime, she loves to decompress with cross-stitching or crochet projects while watching a scary movie or drama series.
