Evan Zhang
Summary
Multidisciplinary Product Designer specializing in human-centered systems and tangible experience. I design digital and physical products that strengthen people’s connection to their environment rather than distract from it. My work combines design research, iterative making, and a materials-first mindset to create grounded solutions that support learning, health, and everyday living in a more intentional way.
