Biography about me Born in Taiwan, Tainan city. My name is Chia Chi (Nicole) Chang. I studied and graduated from Interior Architecture and Design major in San Francisco, United State. Being an interior designer does not only change my life, but it also changes how I see things. My favorite part of interior design is to create spaces for people to enjoy and relax. I am passionate in hospitality and commercial design. I love to pay attention to the sustainability aspect of design. I believe there is always room for improvement. I am looking forward to continue learning and improving myself to be a better designer.
this book Contains select academic works during my time attending interior architecture and design school in San Francisco and the select work in the IIDA Design Charette. Additionally, a small part of it is dedicated to show different skillsets in textile and graphic design that compliment my interior design knowledge.

The design concept is inspired by the client himself who works in several different industries and businesses at once, as if he is in the middle of intersecting roads. Intersecting lines and dots that represents them cleanly is the main elements in the design approach. They are translated into many different interior elements, such as ceiling, room divider, as well as characters of the furniture that are chosen in this project.
