Joseph Chang embraces his interior design projects the same way he does life — head on, with a whole lot of passion and a flair for the eclectic. A graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York, the Hong Kong native runs his practice JC Vision from a studio in Central, and recently he sat down with us for a chat
Tell us how you became interested in the world of design. Style, creativity and anything aesthetic have been a part of my consciousness for as long as I can remember. I have always been focused on the big picture and the creative process behind it. When I was nine years old, my parents were busy decorating our new apartment, and I remember I loved that process… I didn’t like their picks, but of course nobody listened to me!
What kind of projects do you generally tend to work on? Most designers like the largest home or the largest budget, but for me, I love any project when I know what we have created has made a difference in the life of a client. In the past few years, we have completed smaller designs - for instance a 2,000 sq-ft villa house — where challenges were great, but the end result was superb.
