Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Qihang Zhang, a product designer and entrepreneur based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a Master of Education in Learning Design, Innovation, and Technology from Harvard and a Bachelor\u2019s in Communications and History from UCLA, with plans to complete my MBA at Stanford. My journey has taken me from spearheading innovative analytics solutions at Chartmetric, empowering minority artists in the music industry, to contributing to impactful campaigns at Tesla and National Geographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also the co-founder of Memory Land and MindFuel, where I focus on creating digital experiences that promote emotional healing and resilience through mindfulness and trauma-informed design. My work combines a passion for innovation with a deep commitment to meaningful, human-centred impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My path to becoming a designer was shaped by a blend of education, curiosity, and personal discovery. It began with studying Communications at UCLA, where I initially aimed for a career in the entertainment industry. This experience opened my eyes to the power of storytelling, which became a crucial element in my design journey. I soon realised that design was an indispensable form of storytelling. Capable of conveying messages and evoking emotions in unique ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This revelation came through hands-on experimentation, from redesigning album covers to building music data apps from scratch. I found immense joy in this design process, particularly in how it allowed me to share stories and inspire others. Recognising where my passions and skills intersected. I made a deliberate decision to pivot my career towards product design, with a focus on UI and UX. To support this transition, I took the initiative to teach myself Figma, demonstrating my commitment to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, my journey wasn’t a straight path but an evolution. Driven by my growing understanding of how design can create meaningful experiences and my genuine enthusiasm for the design process. This realisation led me to embrace a career where I can continuously explore. New ways to communicate and inspire through visual and interactive mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
