About Invisible Fabric
Invisible Fabric is a boutique consultancy providing research and strategy on building connective technologies and developing technology policies that maximize the public interest.
Invisible Fabric is founded by Diane Chang, a global expert who has consulted for nonprofits and companies on issues at the intersection of technology, media, and society. She is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia Journalism School, and Senior Fellow for Global Elections at the Tech Global Institute.
Diane has a decade of product management experience building products that connect people to interesting and informative information online. From 2021 to 2023, she led a number of trust and safety product development efforts at Meta, including empowering global users of Facebook and Instagram to safely engage on elections and civic matters, and developing capabilities to forecast risks in societal crises. Prior to that, she launched streaming apps for AMC Networks-backed streaming services Shudder and Sundance Now on nascent device platforms like Apple TV and Roku. At the startup Flipboard, she built machine learning products to recommend high quality articles from marquee news and magazine publishers to readers, based on the topics they are most interested in.
Diane came to tech after a first career as a news producer. She covered a range of national and international news, foreign affairs, consumer safety, and investigative stories at the Nightly News, Dateline, and the Today Show at NBC News, and Bill Moyers Journal on PBS.
Diane holds a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School, where she was a scholarship recipient from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy, and a Bachelor’s of Arts in anthropology from Columbia University. She is fluent in Mandarin, and has language experience in French and Italian.
