William Zhang
Design, Insights
New York
With a background in digital product design, I’m a dot-connector between research insights, actionable data, and the end-user.
I have an industrial design background from the Rhode Island School of Design, bolstered with studies in business, computer science, and organizational sociology. My past work experiences resided in UX design within the financial and educational technology sectors, along the common thread of consumer AI.
I’ve also lived 8 years in Shanghai, spent every summer working in a new city, and studied abroad in Germany. I love inter-cultural interaction and intend to continue learning through immersive travel.
In my free time, I’m either tinkering with creative code making wacky applications, or I’m facing a bouldering wall thinking how to contort my body in just the right way to complete a climb.
