Amber Jiang's Work

Featured Projects

These projects are my personal favorites. All of them are highly collaborative projects that challenged me to expand my skillset and try new things. As a result, I think they are also the most representative of my abilities as not only a designer and researcher, but also as a team member and thinker.

All Projects

Here are all my projects over the years, sorted from the most recent to the oldest. While older projects pale in comparison to the work I do in the present day, I think it's important for me to recognize the progress I've made. Everyone starts somewhere, and improvement warrants pride, not embarrassment. Please enjoy this little tour through time.
