About Me.
Hi, I’m Coco Chang — a passionate media storyteller and editor specializing in visual storytelling and cross-platform strategy.
​
My journey began in multimedia journalism and nonfiction filmmaking, eventually leading me to a national newsroom where I contributed to broadcasts and editing. At Condé Nast Taiwan, I transitioned from operations to creative production, supporting global cultural campaigns and editorial content for Vogue and GQ. My freelance projects further honed my narrative pacing and visual intuition, shaping my aspiration to tell impactful stories on a global stage.
I’m now seeking formal, hands-on training to deepen my creative authorship and sharpen my technical craft—skills I believe the BFA in Entertainment Media at NYFA is uniquely designed to provide. This portfolio showcases work in journalism, live media, and non-fiction storytelling, submitted as part of my application to the program.
