INTRODUCING MYSELF

SELEC T ED WORK S OF CHRIS T INE WANG 04

Graphic designers are communicators. I believe that a good design connects with the audience. I am a mapmaker of ideas. My mind is always exploring, comparing and considering questions from many angles. I begin with abstract thought, pushing myself to explore the terrain of possibilities. Once I know project needs, I seek a path to convey the message in a thoughtful, compelling way. I believe good design connects people to ideas through deliberate ideation.
