hello, nice to meet you!
My name is Daniel Jiang, but I go by DJ. As a Computer Science student at UC Berkeley, I discovered my passion for visual creation. Through classes and club projects, I began creating designs that felt both technically robust and visually compelling. My background uniquely positions me to bridge the gap between technical functionality and intuitive design.
I strive to reach people in meaningful ways through design. Be it through photography zines, web applications, or branding assets, I always design with the intent of making things accessible and enjoyable. I embrace every step in the design process, bringing a user-centered approach to each project.

my values
do it,
even if you are scared
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.
embrace change
Pivot when you find that something isn’t working, no matter how wedded you are to that idea. Being open-minded could lead you to better ideas.
listen to understand,
not to respond
True communication transcends words. Finding common ground comes from listening with intention and empathy.
enjoy the process
Celebrate the small moments. Success is built in daily practices, not just grand achievements. Always stop to smell the flowers!
