Renee (Renying) Chen is a Senior Product Designer at Raydiant, a Silicon Valley tech company pioneering AI-driven B2B solutions for retail. Renying is dedicated to transforming complex challenges into intuitive user experiences, blending her design expertise with her interest in AI to create impactful products.
Her journey began with a strong foundation in visual design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she developed advanced digital media skills and client communication strategies. To further expand her expertise, Renying pursued a Master of Digital Media (MDM) at the Centre for Digital Media (CDM) in Vancouver, where she explored emerging technologies like AR and VR. A standout project from her MDM experience was a VR training simulation for the Justice Institute of British Columbia, which won the 2022 Horizon Interactive Gold Award.
After completing her MDM, Renying joined a design agency, where she specialized in simplifying complex problems for users across 9 diverse projects spanning industries such as B2B retail, fintech, Web3.0, B2B marketing product, SaaS B2C platforms, marketing websites, and branding. This experience allowed her to adapt to a fast-paced, multi-project environment and develop essential skills in stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration.
Her entrepreneurial spirit then led her to co-found Silver Koi, a blockchain startup, where she built the brand identity, marketing website, and desktop/mobile trading product from the ground up. Her work contributed to Silver Koi’s rapid growth, securing accelerator funding from Outlier Ventures, amassing over 100,000 followers, and attracting 77.2k users within the first seven days of its testnet launch.
Now at Raydiant, Renying continues to leverage her design expertise to enhance AI-powered tools that drive user insights in the retail sector, making a meaningful impact through innovative solutions.
