Chang is a designer and researcher dedicated to creating inclusive, research-driven, and future-focused learning environments. With a background in interior architecture, philosophy, and emerging technologies, she brings an interdisciplinary approach to educational design—one that centers equity, innovation, and environmental responsibility.

Chang holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon, where she also minored in Architecture and Philosophy. Her experience spans a range of scales, from classroom layouts and interior systems to full campus planning, equipping her with a strong understanding of how design shapes behavior, interaction, and learning outcomes.

Her passion for inclusive education began with her undergraduate thesis on designing schools for children with autism. Grounded in interviews, literature review, and field research, her work resulted in a published design guideline recognized by the RIBA. This early commitment to evidence-based, equitable learning spaces continues to guide her practice.

At the University of Michigan, Chang explored XR and AI as tools for reimagining the future of educational design. As a Research Assistant at the Taubman Visualization Lab, she led XR workshops and developed augmented reality projects. She also served as a student instructor for a course on architecture and AI, where she examined how emerging technologies can support critical and collaborative design thinking.

In addition to her design and research work, Chang brings strong skills in visual storytelling and cross-cultural communication. As Design Director of Hua Feng Magazine, she led the production of multilingual publications and organized public events to foster cultural exchange—skills she now applies to designing learning environments that reflect identity, empathy, and care.

With strengths in research, technology, inclusive design, and communication, Chang believes that educational spaces should not only support academic growth but also foster belonging, curiosity, and well-being for every learner.
