JEN NG

ART DIRECTOR • BRAND STRATEGIST • DESIGNER • PSYCHOLOGIST OF DIGITAL USERS • CLOSETED CREATIVE DIRECTOR • ASPIRING MEMOIRIST

Born to immigrant parents who blew their cash on home karaoke machines, Jen often practiced in front of an imaginary audience while home alone, singing along to No Doubt and 4 Non Blondes. As a teenager, she discovered indie bands through AOL chat rooms and mixtapes made by Internet friends, expanding her roster of singalong songs to include Mary Lou Lord and Sarge because they sang in her range. In college, she joined fellow art students as 1/4 of the 8-bit glitch pop band, The Cleveland Browns. Their live performances were frenetic, with all members letting loose on stage through Cornelius and Blonde Redhead covers and original songs.

Keeping the spirit of musical enthusiasm alive, Jen once danced so hard to an interactive video of Arcade Fire's "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" that she collapsed to the ground at a museum exhibition.
