Jane Ly (she/her)

Marketing Designer | Vietnamese Chinese American

Ever since Jane was little, she found endless joy in creating. Art became her way of making people feel special, telling stories without words. Born and raised in Staten Island, NY, she spent much of her childhood exploring the vibrant Chinatown, where her connection to her Vietnamese and Chinese roots deepened in a world where she often felt hidden.

Attending a STEM-focused high school without formal art classes didn’t stop her passion—she turned essays into art projects, filmed videos instead of writing reports, and sought out every opportunity to bring art into her world. After attending Junior Achievement Business Week, she discovered graphic design and knew she had found her calling. She later earned a BFA in Digital Design with a minor in Studio Arts from CU Denver, where she not only refined her skills but also built community as a graphic designer for Campus Activities, the Asian Student Association, and the Council of Asian Student Leaders.

Since graduating, Jane has been working full-time as a graphic designer in the nonprofit world, blending her love for storytelling with her passion for serving the community.

Jane’s favorite way to celebrate her Vietnamese and Chinese heritage is through food. She cherishes sharing meals with friends and family, but most of all, she treasures the moments spent learning about family traditions from her mom and grandma. Outside of work, you can find Jane hanging out with her dogs, diving into her favorite hobbies, or trying out the newest restaurant in town.
