Jeff Chang's Story
My name is Jeff Chang. I am a Dallas-based, multidisciplinary graphic designer and a long-time aviation enthusiast.
Growing up in Taiwan and Southern California, I have always been fascinated by trains and airplanes. My love of aviation started on my first trip to the USA on a 747 in middle school. I was fascinated by how all the parts work together on a huge and powerful machine that can fly and carry so many people.
" I believe design is not merely aesthetically pleasing. It should also be functional. "
Combining my love for graphic design and aviation, I founded the JNAV clothing brand in 2016. As a designer, I believe design is not merely aesthetically pleasing. It should also be functional.
In the beginning, I was going to create t-shirt designs with my favorite airport codes for plane spotting. Unlike most of the designs out there with simple airport codes and random numbers targeting average travelers, I wanted to design something awesome for aviators with essential navigation info and runway layouts.
Over the years, I was able to create hundreds of airport code t-shirt designs and connect with some of the most amazing aviators and enthusiasts alike.
In 2019, I furthered my mission by partnering with Scanners to create airport code IFR training glasses for flight training schools.
You can find customized airport code t-shirts, water bottles, phone cases, mugs and more at www.zazzle.com/store/jc_design. If you cannot find your favorite airports, I can design something just for you!!!
