I’m Angela Chen, a motion designer and researcher based in Pasadena, CA, currently pursuing my BFA in Motion Design at ArtCenter College of Design. My work blends 2D and 3D motion graphics, brand storytelling, and exhibition design with a deep interest in research-driven design, particularly in healthcare architecture and biodesign. I was one of only 15 students selected for the Hermès Sponsorship Studio, where I helped develop and present concept work directly to Hermès’ artistic leadership. What makes me stand out is my ability to connect visual storytelling with thoughtful research, creating design solutions that are both aesthetically compelling and grounded in real-world impact.
