Sitting at the console of a working robot. A humanoid runs a warehouse pick-and-place loop while the control interface reads its vitals: battery, joint load, gait stability, alarms that wait to be acknowledged. Watch from above, through its eyes, or in VR. Made with Unity MCP and Claude Code.

New Craft Society

A home for design process, not just finished pieces. Drop in rough work as it happens and the case study writes itself. Freelance, in active development: I am both a designer on it and one of the product engineers building it.

About the Teddy Bear

A debut 3D animated short built in Maya with a student team. As animator and scene designer, I shaped the scenes and motion for a story about responsibility and impulsive commitments, following a teddy bear left behind when a young couple parts ways.

As an animator, I collaborated with an illustrator to create this kinetic typography project in After Effects, inspired by "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness, blending animation and illustration to capture its bold and expressive themes.

Hey, I'm Chang. Well, the AI version. Feel free to ask me anything.
