I’m an art director, designer, and content creator based in Texas. I love the challenge that creativity brings as I’m constantly inspired to think, create, and design in different ways that are fun, impactful, and innovative. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor in Visual Communication. For the moments I feel stagnant and need to relieve stress, I punch bags and pretend I’m Mike Tyson, explore new coffee shops, and enjoy creating design &amp; art related content on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DenaNguyen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/denanguyencom/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@denanguyencom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>. It’s another outlet for me to express myself, document my creative journey, and bring content that I hope is helpful, inspiring, and enjoyable for others.

I have worked with different organizations and businesses in the past, but I've liked freelance the best because it allows me to go into very different types of industries. I have worked for a Translation Agency before, but I've gotten the most variety on my own; everything from Musical Theater, to international cuisine, to big data and IT matters, to religious content to self help and coaching to game design, etc.

Gosh no! I started working from home just after a corporate layoff and a year before everyone else started working from home, LOL. Working in a corporate environment proved to me just how much I wanted to be my own boss. It wasn't easy, in fact--it was downright rough sometimes--but I kept working freelance, and now I'm considered Top Rated.
