About Ren Perona

Curious by nature.
Practical by instinct.

Ren Perona

I’m a digital professional with a background in graphic design, e-commerce, digital content, web administration, customer support, and administrative work.

My experience spans online retail, digital marketing, website content, social media, creative production, and the use of AI tools in creative and digital work. I also have experience with Shopify, but it is just one part of my broader experience.

I prefer practical work, clear expectations, and knowing what actually needs to get done. I enjoy both creative work and the quieter, more methodical side of things, whether that means research, organizing information, managing files, or working through repetitive tasks.

I appreciate good communication, reasonable expectations, and people who trust each other to get on with the work. I’m always open to the right opportunity or interesting project.

Experience

Recent work is centered on e-commerce, digital marketing, content, and digital operations, with hands-on experience managing the platforms and systems that support an online business.
