Summary
Anna Zhang is a creative technologist and artist based in San Francisco with eight years of experience blending product, design, and emergent tech to build playful, user-centered experiences. Her background spans product management at Adobe and civic-focused engineering at GSA, alongside hands-on work in AR, data visualization, and mobile game design—projects that have ranged from an awarded Google Play game to AR prototypes for urban planning. She also maintains a strong visual practice as a commercial photographer for major brands and cultural figures, bringing a practiced eye for storytelling to technical design. Comfortable shipping full-stack prototypes (Flask, React) and high-fidelity AR and design prototypes (ARKit, Reality Composer, Figma), she sits at the intersection of craft and code. Unusually, she pairs institutional product experience with gallery-minded experimentation, currently producing independent creative experiments as a member of NEW INC’s Art & Code track.
