Tuyen (Kelly) Chau

Hello! My name is Tuyen Chau also known as Kelly. At a young age, I have been interested in forms of self-expression such as writing, music, photography, and so on. Inspired by stories of my late paternal grandfather pursuing photojournalism in sixties Việt Nam and my late eldest paternal uncle having been a cải lương (Vietnamese folk opera) singer, confirmation bias or not, I felt connected as to why I felt the need to pick up a microphone and camera.

We did not have much growing up so the luxurious karate or piano classes were out of the question. Eventually I saved up for a DSLR starter kit from working part-time jobs and began offering photography services to professionals and local businesses. After graduating, I traveled for a few months while continued freelancing and working at several small to mid-sized companies. I joined a franchise brokerage agency and implemented a structure within eight months that increased sales and decreased costs in the marketing department leading it to branch out to a new division. This experience helped me realize that I enjoy building structures, teams, and plans for businesses with creativity at the root. When I say creativity, I also speak of staying innovative and resourceful to find solutions teams and customers.

My management background is in marketing with a focus on creative production. I believe in being transparent about digital services to ensure fair pricing and scope of work without sacrificing quality. Currently, I am on a small biz journey with Broken Rice Media LLC, ongoing business development, and creative pursuits. Outside of that, I find joy spending time with my family and three dogs while working on personal projects and mental/physical wellbeing.

Things could change. All I know is that everyone faces adversity and life is fickle so it is important to live each day intentionally which means differently for each person. My goal is to continue sharing stories that will hopefully inspire others to learn self-expression as well as find ways to give back to the community with the little time I have on this earth.

Thanks for stopping by. I am located in the metro Atlanta area and available for travel or remote work. If you have questions, would like to request my resume, or collaborate, drop a message and we can grab (virtual) boba tea!

Project and Marketing Management

As a part of the co-founding team at Dream Arc Creative, my role was to develop and implement procedures and manage all of the project production, team schedule, and vendor relations for clients, white label partners, and the company brand. You can view project examples at Broken Rice Media.

Travel Photography

I always find comfort in traveling especially when I stop to reflect how tiny I am compared to this universe.

Commercial Photography

At the very least, there is one thing that you can learn from anyone you meet and in anything you do. That is why I enjoy collaborating with entrepreneurs and learning about their businesses.

Portrait Photography

We can universally connect through language, food, culture, and a smile. Taking photos of people will always hold a special place for me.

I'd love to meet you! You can learn more about the projects I am working on by visiting any of the links below.
