Ding Bakehouse

It all began during the lockdown in 2021, when my sister and I launched a home-bakery business. This marked the beginning of my journey into social media marketing and content creation, where I taught myself tools like Procreate, Canva, and iMovie. I also designed our logo, bringing our brand to life.

Stepping into leadership, I took charge of managing and creating content for GLA Youth’s social media platforms. I played a key role in boosting engagement, helping us connect with local communities and grow in both numbers and fellowship.

My work includes designing event flyers, announcements, highlights, producing videos, creating logos. GLA Youth is a Vietnamese church group that hosts events and gatherings year-round, fostering a sense of community and faith among its members.

UC Irvine, CALIT2

During my time at the University of California, Irvine, I worked for the California Institute of Information and Technology (CALIT2), where I designed eye-catching flyers, program booklets, infographics for students and executive board meetings, and promotional videos. It was here that my supervisor recognized my creative talents and encouraged me to pursue a professional path in marketing and design.
