About
Industrial Design & Illustration
Hi, I'm Ellen Ren. Thank you for viewing my work!
​
I am a recent graduate from Pratt Institute's Industrial Design program in Brooklyn, NY. My main focus is designing for social change, toy design and tech design. I believe that design should serve the people and catalyze change in the society.
​
I enjoy working in multiple mediums, explore various topics, and incorporate different skill sets in all my design processes. My hope is to bring to the world ideas that are functional, playful, as well as beautiful.
In addition to design, I work freelance at Hong Studio to create illustrations, scripts, storyboards, comics, and graphic novels.
During my free time, I participate in community service and volunteering projects.
