Uyen Vo
Uyen Vo’s eagerness to learn served her well as a student at Richland College and continues today in her career as a interactive designer.
Uyen began courses at Richland College in 2002 immediately after completing high school. A highly motivated student, she excelled and maintained an excellent GPA while studying multimedia at Richland and serving as a volunteer student assistant. While at RLC, Uyen was well liked by her classmates and helped students with programming problems and animation.
"She showed talent as both a programmer and as an artist – a highly regarded feat," said her nominator, Professor Dwayne Carter. "Uyen also maintained a positive attitude. Her good disposition made it a pleasure to work with her."
In 2005, Uyen earned an Associate Degree in Multimedia Developer, with Level I and II certificates in Visual Design from RLC. With these successes under her belt, Uyen transferred to the University of Texas at Dallas, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in arts and technology.
Today Uyen is an interactive designer at imc2, an Internet marketing company in Dallas whose clients include The Coca-Cola Company, Pizza Hut and Pfizer. Uyen is responsible for creating media campaigns and flash Web sites for imc2. She also works on 3-D modeling and animation, video editing, and special effects.
Because of her high level of academic and professional achievement, Uyen was invited to be a member of the Richland’s Multimedia Advisory Board. This advisory board makes recommendations on curriculum for RLC’s Multimedia Program.
