Hi, I’m Jen Chenyu Zhang, an interdisciplinary designer/architect/storyteller. 
I design interactive experiences, using multi-medium platforms,  from a user-centered and empathetic perspective.

Yosemite Mountain 2022
 Hello, welcome to my corner of the world!  

My passion for design lies in the careful observations of everyday interactions, and the motivation to impact people and communities both near and far. I see beauty in the power of empathy and compassion.

Born and raised in China, with an education background in both the US and Europe, I have constantly embodied a cultural-social sensibility towards my spatial and visual designs.
 
I utilize a diverse range of artistic/design platforms, through both analog and digital mediums, to evolve and express my investigation of relationships between humans and the built environment.  

After receiving a B.Arch and a B.FA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2021, I currently work in New York City.

During my free time, I love to capture meaningful moments with my 35mm film camera; or cycle through parks and hills, enjoying the thrill of speeding downhill as well as the painful paddling leading up to the peak.
