My name is Teresa Lien and I’m a creative professional with over 20 years of experience in marketing, graphic design, and web development. My journey has been a colorful mix of full-time gigs, entrepreneurial adventures, freelance contracts, and plenty of learning curves — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I’ve had the privilege of working with some seriously talented, inspiring people over the years, and while the road hasn’t always been smooth (whose ever is?), it’s been incredibly rewarding. My work has not only given me a great living but also constant opportunities to grow, adapt, and reinvent — which, let’s face it, is kind of the name of the game in this industry.
Adobe Creative Suite? It’s my playground. From Photoshop and Illustrator to InDesign and Premiere Pro, I speak fluent Adobe.
Creativity & Strategy? I don’t just make things look good — I make sure they work well too. I love connecting dots between design, messaging, and audience experience.
Marketing & Communications? I’ve led the charge on branding, campaigns, and messaging strategies — both digitally and in real-world settings.
Event Oversight? Whether it’s coordinating the big picture or sweating the small details, I’ve helped bring many engaging, memorable events to life.
Lately, I’ve been diving into the world of AI — and it’s like discovering a whole new set of tools to play with. The tech excites me, but even more so, the potential to use it in meaningful, human-centered ways.
To use marketing strategy, creativity, communication, and design to bring people together, tell meaningful stories, and support organizations that make a positive impact in their communities.
I’ve built a career that blends technical skill with creative problem-solving. I’ve worked as an independent contractor and as part of in-house teams, gaining a deep understanding of how to connect with audiences visually and emotionally. I’ve led marketing strategy, campaigns, overseen communications, and brought events to life — but more than titles or tools, it’s the people I’ve worked with that have shaped my journey. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with passionate teams and grow alongside them, always learning, always evolving.
I bring my creativity, warmth, and curiosity into places that values people as much as purpose. I want to contribute to a workplace that’s fun, inclusive, and community-minded, where I can make a difference not just through marketing, design or communication, but by genuinely supporting others.
I started out as a graphic designer, trained in 3D animation, and eventually found my stride in marketing and communications. Along the way, I’ve worn a lot of strategic or creative hats — always focused on building business opportunities. From shaping brands to crafting campaigns, I’ve helped ideas come to life and make an impact.
With roots in both non-status Aboriginal and Norwegian heritage, I carry a deep respect for culture, storytelling, and the connection between people, land, and purpose. That perspective shapes how I approach creativity — not just as a way to make things look good, but as a way to make things meaningful.
With a background rooted in visual storytelling, design thinking, and strategic communication, I’m leaning into the next chapter: exploring the creative and purposeful potential of emerging tech. I’m currently learning how to create AI agents, and I’m excited about how this new layer of intelligence can amplify human connection, problem-solving, and positive change.
To me, creativity has always been about more than aesthetics — it’s about meaning, balance, and using your skills to make something real and relevant. Whether it’s a brand, a message, or a piece of tech, I want the work to resonate — with people and with purpose.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me outside recharging in nature or deep in a video game, appreciating smart strategy, clever design, and the occasional perfect level-up.
If you’re into creative ideas, conscious tech, or want to geek out about AI or indie games — let’s connect.
Let’s make cool stuff — and make it count.
