Hello

My name is Yangchen Zhang and am currently a graduate Interaction Design student at Umeå Institute of Design.

My work spans from product to visualization design and my main area of interest is in creating engaging experiences by diminishing the barrier of digital technology.

Before studying a MA in Interaction Design I received a Bachelor in Industrial Design from Zhejiang University in China. I have experience as a product designer in at a telecom manufacturer, ZTE. In 2008, I moved to Umeå in northern Sweden to further my education in design. I spent one year focusing on visualization design and following that moving into interaction design. From here, I got the chance to meet a number of really interesting and inspiring people from all over the world. This experience motivated me to take one year off to see the world. During 2011, I did a 6 months internship in Designit Copenhagen, and spent the rest of year in traveling in Asia where I volunteered at the Mother Teresa elderly home in Nepal.
In the future, I intend to explore the world with passion and curiosity, while continuing to develop my interests in concept visualization and prototyping.

Thanks for stopping by for peek. If you have any question or are interested in of my projects or hiring me (which would be nice), please feel free to contact me at: zhangyangchen(at)gmail.com
