I’m Haotian 'Oscar' Chang, a multidisciplinary designer focused on furniture, lighting, and related products. I earned a Master of Science in Furniture, Lighting, and Fixture Design from ArtCenter College of Design and have guided client-driven projects from concept through production, coordinating with a wide network of vendors to ensure precise, on-time delivery. My practice blends form, function, and storytelling with hands-on prototyping, CAD modeling, and fabrication oversight. I enjoy turning ideas into scalable design solutions, using 3D tools like SolidWorks, Rhino, and KeyShot, while collaborating across disciplines to refine production-ready concepts.
