Amy Cheng's resume

Amy's first computer was a Tandy PC. Instead of playing games, Amy would create digital-based art using applications like Creative Writer, Kid Pix, and Print Shop. In the late 1990's, she taught herself HTML and CSS so she could make her own Star Wars fan page complete with image map and streaming MIDI music in the background.

Since then, she's moved on to applications and technologies like Processing, Flash/ActionScript, HTML5, jQuery, basically anything that uses computation as an artistic tool. She's worked as a project manager at a web development firm, where she was responsible for information architecture. She also earned a Master of Science in Digital Media at Georgia Tech, where she specialized in interaction design.

Amy also likes to experiment with methods and materials from printmaking to physical computing.

She is based in New York City.
