About Me

Hi, I’m Coco Wang, a creative thinker

I’m a creative thinker at the intersection of design, business, and culture. With a background in Communication Design and Strategic Design & Management at Parsons, I combine visual storytelling with strategic insight to transform ideas into meaningful solutions. My work spans branding, information visualization, and cultural research, while my independent studies in economics and finance expand my perspective beyond the studio.

Whether leading projects, designing experiences, or exploring entrepreneurial ventures, I approach every challenge with curiosity, structure, and creativity. I believe learning is not limited to the classroom—it’s a journey of experimenting, iterating, and connecting disciplines to create impact.
