Justen Renyer was born and raised in New York City. He graduated from the High School of Art and Design, with an emphasis in Illustration. In 1993, Renyer received his BFA in Painting from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma.

Pursuing an interest in sample-based music composition he returned to New York City and recorded experimental music incorporating field recordings, spoken word and drum programming for the partnership Community Programs. Merging his interests in visual art, digital reappropriation and graffiti, Renyer worked as a graphic designer for the hip-hop publication Blaze Magazine.

In 2007, Renyer received his MFA in Visual Communications from the University of Oklahoma with work in Flash animation, video editing, photography and print graphics. He collaborated with art and
engineering students on Pulse Pool, a project that explored how access to otherwise unavailable corporal information affects human interaction. This multimedia installation was exhibited at the Museum of Science, Boston. His thesis project, a print and video
installation of motion graphics, focused on the role of rhetoric in the War on Terror.

His current work integrates motion graphics, video and sound design.
