Hey there!

I'm Annie Zhang

I’m a creative designer + marketer based in Melbourne. My path to where I am today started with an initial background in web development, which was where my career started. My interest in art and design and my desire to master design skills gave me the motivation to enter into a new phase of this journey which helped me realise my goal of studying Graphic Design at RMIT. I look forward to continuing on this creative journey and evolving as a designer, problem solver and human who is lucky to move through this world filled with so much beauty.
