I’m a design leader specializing in creating compelling brand experiences through product design, strategic thinking, and art direction. I’m currently a Senior Director at GoodRx, overseeing product and visual design across the homepage, editorial platforms, and core consumer and B2B experiences on web and mobile. Previously at Medium, I led art creation for seven in-house publications and the company’s marketing efforts. As Creative Director at BuzzFeed News, I built an award-winning art department that defined the visual standards for the site and more than a dozen streaming TV shows, including Follow This on Netflix. Earlier in my career, I worked with publications such as Entertainment Weekly, Cooking Light, Smash, Tennis, and Cincinnati Magazine. My work has been recognized with two Emmy nominations and more than 65 industry awards from the Society of Publication Designers, American Illustration, and American Photography. I’m based in Brooklyn, New York.︎  |  hello [at] dennishuynh.com HONORS DANDA 2022–25: Various honors Emmy 2019: Nomination: Profile by BuzzFeed News 2018: Nomination: Netflix: Follow This Society of Publication Designers 2021–22: Executive Board Member 2020-21: Board Member 2019–20: Digital Co-chair (Pub 55)2020: Finalist: Visual Branding Video 2020: Finalist: News/Documentary Video 2020: Merit: Service/Explainer Video 2019: Finalist: News/Documentary Video 2016: Merit: Original Digital Illustration Shorty Awards 2019: Finalist & Audience Honor: Brand Redesign International Motion Arts Awards 2019: Selections — Graphics Package Profile by BuzzFeed News & Follow This American Illustration2020, 2018, 2016, 2015 PLACES WORKED GoodRx Medium BuzzFeed News Entertainment Weekly Cooking Light Tennis Magazine Cincinnati Magazine Westwind (Walla Walla University Alumni Magazine) PRESS SPD Member Spotlight AIGA: Eye on Design Under Consideration Computer Arts https://dennishuynh.com/Follow-This-on-Netflix Wed, 13 Feb 2019 14:44:03 +0000 Dennis Huynh | UX Design & Creative Director https://dennishuynh.com/Follow-This-on-Netflix FOLLOW THIS Launched in 2018 Follow This is a TV show that was developed and produced for Netflix that follows the reporters at BuzzFeed News as they probe topics ranging from quirky internet crazes to safe injection spaces for opioid users.
