Danielle Chang

In one form or another, Danielle Chang’s remarkable career has been an elegant expression of her Chinese heritage. In all her roles—from professor of art history and curator to publisher of her own magazine and CEO—her work has been both grounded and defined by her experience as a first-generation, Asian female immigrant. Whether as the CEO of fashion brand Vivienne Tam, cookbook author, or creator and founder of the not-for-profit Lucky Chow, Danielle continues to shine a spotlight on Asian culture with the broader audience. When Danielle founded LUCKYRICE over a decade ago, a lifestyle brand, which The New York Times calls a “mouthwatering [dedication] to eating, making and thinking about Asian-inspired cuisine,” she and her team began a cultural conversation that is, to this day, flourishing. As the creator and co-host of the Emmy nominated PBS series Lucky Chow (now entering it’s fifth season), Danielle continues to amplify the voices of Asians in America. With The Hao Life, Danielle brings her career arc full circle by reconnecting with the simple, powerful remedies of traditional Chinese medicine that have nourished her through every life stage.
