My name is Rene Chien. I’m a marketing and graphic/web design professional with 10+ years of in-house digital marketing and brand management experience.
I’m currently seeking a full-time opportunity as a Graphic Designer/Marketing Coordinator or similar role.
About Me
I am passionate about working with color palettes, typography, and imagery to create an aesthetically pleasing and user friendly end product. I create layouts with balance and simplicity. I design with a company’s brand in mind, following rules and themes, while adding a touch of uniqueness and creativity to take designs to a new level. I thrive in creative environments where I can collaborate with team members, but I also work well independently, ensuring that projects are completed in a timely manner.
I graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor’s degree in Emerging Media and Communication. In this program, I studied everything from digital imaging to audio/video production to communication and persuasion. I also worked as a graphic designer and gained experience in designing websites, print/digital ads, stationery, and marketing collateral. I am grateful that I was able to evolve my passion and confirm my desired career path during my time at UT Dallas.
