In 1999, Chang was featured on China Central Television and was the only residential designer selected as "one of the world's most outstanding designers." This prestigious design award group includes such architects and design icons as IM Pei, Richard Meyer and Robert Venturi.

A recipient of the Women in Design International Achievement Award in Paris for both environmental architecture and interior design, Chang served two terms as co-president of Design International, a US-based professional organization representing members from more than 21 different fields of design.

Chang is also a high-tech business leader, television personality, and the host and creator of acclaimed TV series The Art of Living. This programme was shown on Time Warner Cable in the United States and weekly on Beijing TV via satellite to nearly 100 million viewers.

Chang's strong relationship with the Chinese media has helped her company bring National Geographic to China. She introduced its television programming to China Central Television, including over 1,000 affiliated stations.

Chang's business acumen is also well respected on Wall Street, where she serves as chief executive officer of the publicly traded international marketing, multimedia and technology innovator International Telecommunications Inc.

"I hope to introduce more environmentally friendly, high-tech projects to China in the future," she says.
