About Me

About Me

I'm Abigail, a web, UIUX, & brand designer based in Taipei. I love designing websites, apps, and brands that strongly evoke a very particular and cohesive aesthetic. In lieu of having a set style, I believe that every project should constitute an entirely individualized mentality and vision.

Currently, I'm an incoming student at Northwestern University hoping to study HCI, Cognitive Science & CS. Before I was a designer, though, I was a writer. My work has appeared in 20+ literary journals, and I've edited for 6. Through this, I became the creative director of the SUNHOUSE organization, which includes both a literary journal and a teen creative writing mentorship program.

I'm open for projects and collaborations of all kinds, particularly website or app design projects. Email me at abigail.c.chang@gmail.com and I'll get back to you✴︎
