Hi, I'm Jenny Chang.
A Fusion of Product Designer, Strategist, and Storyteller.
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
​
Born with a zest for creativity and a curiosity that leaps beyond the conventional. With a solid foundation in industrial design and an evolving expertise in design management, my path has been a testament to a relentless pursuit of innovation, excellence, and meaningful connections through design.
​
My professional saga spans from crafting visual narratives for esteemed clients to navigating the skies as a flight attendant, and making my mark in the competitive automotive industry. Each chapter has taught me the invaluable lesson of empathy, the art of understanding customer needs, and the power of designing experiences that truly resonate.
​
Now, as I navigate the realms of digital marketing and project management, while honing strategic management skills, I stand at the crossroads of creativity and strategic business acumen. The pursuit of a Master's in Design Management has bridged my passion for design with a robust understanding of business strategy, unlocking new horizons of innovation and success.
​
Let's explore how our paths can intersect for mutual growth and success!
