Generalizations aside, when you're from Flushing, Queens., certain truths apply — The Mets are your team, Large Professor is your idol and you frequent all the best Asian joints around Main St. If there's one girl who could attest to this, it's designer/illustrator Sophia Chang, the next big staple here in NYC.
Just a few years ago, Sophia was interning at Complex while pursuing a degree at Parsons School of Design. After completing her formal education, Sophia has worked as a commercial freelancer, including work for legendary NYC streetwear designer, Jeff Staple.
One of the city's rising young creatives, Sophia Chang continuously makes us proud with every move she makes. Her current illustrations for Staple Designs have been well received and her recent collaboration with Anthony Bourdain and the Travel Channel is a tremendous testament to all she's accomplished.
Join us as we take a look at Sophia Chang's Portfolio Review and read what she has to say about her artistic process and her come up.

Congrats to Sophia! I was looking at her work earlier in the year after seeing her on Jeff's blog, she is very very creative. I like how she illustrates every chance she gets, even if it's to tell a simple story...she just might end up telling it with picture or illustrations instead of words. Very cool!
