Annie Chen is a designer, scientist, and socio-technical researcher based in the United States.

Her work explores how environmental technologies encounter human and living systems across the climate transition. She develops artifacts and systems that make these encounters legible, enabling new forms of collective sense-making across science, technology, and community life.
After graduating from the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program, she co-founded BEAM, a research-led creative studio for people & planet. She is also a Research Affiliate at the MIT Media Lab’s Community Biotechnology Initiative and a member of NEW INC, the New Museum’s design, culture, and tech incubator, in the Year 12 Creative Science cohort.

Her work has been supported by NASA Ames Research Center, MIT Media Lab, Science History Institute,
New York Foundation for the Arts, Brown University, EY Intelligent Realities Lab, and more.
