Isaac Jang
About
I'm Isaac. I’m an American trans–disciplinary designer with strong writing & visual skills, and a history of navigating complexity and prototyping for impact.
In my prior experiences, I have applied my design skills working with endangered language nonprofits to strategically communicate cultural values. I've also conducted user research with investors and entrepreneurs on behalf of a startup client, synthesized systems design frameworks and authored publication drafts, and reframed fuel infrastructures to re-imagine future systems of EV charging.
I'm driven by design's potential in innovation, human impact, and the public good. Designers are uniquely positioned to drive change in traditional systems, and have a responsibility to translate personal and organizational values into feasible solutions—something that is both a weighty privilege and an exciting endeavor.
​
When I'm not working, I enjoy bouldering with friends, trying out new recipes, working on home DIY projects (most recently, a custom oak handrail), and watching classic films.
What I'm listening to
The legendary radio show and NPR podcast, equal parts car stuff and relationship advice. Proving that mysterious engine noises sound better when diagnosed with a Boston accent and contagious laughter.
A classic for any design lover. Helping us to forever notice the quietly brilliant design touches all around us.
Using the dice-rolling framework of Dungeons and Dragons, this podcast tells the story of 4 dads flung into a fantasy world, on a quest to rescue their lost sons. Not a BDSM podcast!
Two sharp-witted British hosts dissect chilling true crime cases, deftly weaving in humor, commentary, and personal anecdotes.
