Joseph Zhang

I'm a designer interested in all things related to digital toolmaking, multimodal interaction, and systems thinking. I believe good design reflects artistic values focused around emotion and play. I'm a fourth year undergrad at Carnegie Mellon studying Communication Design and Human-Computer Interaction.

In the past, I worked at Apple, Metalink, Brain Technologies, and Elevation Church. I’m currently a front-end developer at the Computational Creativity Lab. After graduation, I'll be building privacy-first collaboration tools at Skiff. If you have an interesting idea, let's get in touch.
