About Jenn

I am a trilingual individual with Taiwanese roots, raised in Argentina, and now based in the US. My professional journey spans diverse roles in web design, graphic design, marketing, and e-commerce, culminating in the establishment of my own creative studio. With a strong technical and creative skill set, I've consistently demonstrated my ability to drive results and adapt to various challenges in the digital landscape.

Hello there! I'm a multifaceted and globally-minded individual with a passion for creativity, technology, and effective communication. My journey has taken me across continents, shaping me into the adaptable and resourceful person I am today.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, my early childhood was spent in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This formative period, from 1985 to 1995, immersed me in the rich culture and language of Argentina, making Spanish my dominant language alongside my native Mandarin. I even had the opportunity to learn Japanese in a private school, though sadly, those skills have faded over time. This early exposure to different cultures instilled in me a global perspective and a natural curiosity for the world.

In 1995, my journey continued as I moved to the United States. This transition allowed me to become fluent in English, making me truly trilingual, though my Mandarin is now at a beginner level. This experience highlights my adaptability and willingness to embrace new environments and languages.

My pursuit of knowledge led me to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (2003-2007), where I studied Computer Information Systems and Business Administration. While I didn't complete my degree, the skills and knowledge I gained during this time provided a strong foundation for my future endeavors.
