We had the good fortune of connecting with Khanh Tran and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Khanh, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I grew up with parents who were self employed small business owners. Have always enjoyed art and framing.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
In my earlier years, I have failed more often than not. But through my failures, I’ve learned what and what not to do. I am still learning and throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks. All in all, my business has grown organically through the relationships I have built with my customers and artists

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Can’t beat all the lakes in MN! I find myself more immersed in my business and have very little time enjoying what MN has to offer. I typically enjoying hole in the wall restaurants and businesses that are family own. I usually recommend people and customers to these little businesses.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents are the reason I have my own business. My Artist is why my gallery is full of art. My customers because of all their repeat businesses and referrals.
