Emily Chang – Designer

It’s starting to get dark at 5 pm but that doesn’t mean things have slowed down.  A new artcodes design is underway and will launch soon.  Multiple web and digital projects are currently in the lab, brewing and stewing.

Working online every waking hour.  Literally, from when I wake to when I go to bed.  I’m not gone, just busy.  Before I was busy, I was traveling.  But I’ll be back… soon, I hope.  And maybe I’ll even find the time to make new videos and images.
