I am Huiwen Zang, a graphic and web designer based in Norway.
Design, to me, is about uncovering meaning — where analysis meets intuition, and ideas take form.

Design and project coordination for film screenings, events and digital channels.
From 2020 to 2024, I worked on design and project coordination, from the full visual suite for a screening series with Pro Helvetia to the launch identity for an art club in partnership with Fosun Foundation. I also consistently created graphics, marketing materials and social media content for the institution, designed the UI of its WeChat mini-app, and handled ongoing content maintenance for both the mini-app and the website.
A bilingual website and Android app, designed, built and run by me.
An independent I Ching reading site, free and grounded in the classical text: all 64 hexagrams and 386 line texts, each with the original and a plain-language reading in English and Chinese. I handle everything end to end: visual design, front-end development, bilingual content, SEO, deployment and ongoing updates.
A gesture-based tool for learning basic sign language.
The Visual Dictionary helps beginners, including children, learn basic American Sign Language (ASL) on their own. Most self-study resources can't tell learners whether a sign was right, so here users perform each sign in front of the webcam, and when it is recognised, a matching photograph appears as feedback.
A landing page prototype I designed for a Finnish AI startup's venue assistant, reached by scanning a QR code.
3D and editorial design for an alternative fashion history generated by a self-trained AI.
The project began by training an AI on a database of fashion history, blogs, and novels by Jean Genet. The AI named itself Rous D’Alenciennes and generated its own writing. A short 3D animated video and magazine were created from this text, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between fashion, body, identity, and culture.
A VR game where you experience a bee's mission to revive its homeland.
You are a bee, returning home to find the garden lifeless — as your tears fall to the ground, the plants miraculously regrow. Each one revived brings your hive back to life.
