Hi! My name is

Irene zhang

Product manager, designer, artist, and side-quest adventurer based in Vancouver

Hi, I'm Irene!

I'm currently an Associate Product Manager at Workday and Designer at The Creative Solution.

I graduated from the UBC Sauder School of Business, specializing in Marketing and Organizational Behaviour & Human Resources (OBHR), with a minor in Asian Studies. Throughout my time at UBC, I participated in many hackathons in both a hacker and organizer capacity.

My unique background allows me to bring together diverse perspectives in my work and make connections between product design, development, and business outcomes.

I would love to connect with you and hear about your story over coffee!

Side Quests

Pursuing my personal passions and ventures are an important part of my personal and professional journey.

Although they may seem unrelated to the "main quest" (i.e. academic and career goals), "side quests" have led me to the coolest projects, collaborations, and communities that I otherwise wouldn't have discovered.

Current side quests in progress:

  • Supporting V2, an open collective for technology, art, and science based in Vancouver.
  • Developing my artistic practice through digital art, comics, and urban sketching.
  • Collaborating with a writer friend to create a long-form comic about a clock and a calendar.
