Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAgnes Chang is a visual editor and interaction designer with 13 years of experience crafting information-rich, user-centered visuals at The New York Times and leading newsrooms and labs like ProPublica, NYU/Columbia collaborations, and the MIT Media Lab. She blends research rigor—publishing in CHI and CSCW—with hands-on development, contributing to open-source tooling for streaming data (nytlabs/streamtools) where she implemented monitoring, NSQ handling, and priority-queued synchronizers. Comfortable moving a concept from research to prototype to production, she excels in interdisciplinary teams translating complex data into elegant, usable stories. Trained in media arts and sciences with deep Japanese studies, she brings a cross-cultural perspective and a penchant for “walking the edge” between design, code, and journalism.
