Monash Art, Design and Architecture Graduate Exhibition 2025

My name is Zihao Zhang (he/him), a UI/UX designer and digital media artist based in Melbourne.
My practice lies at the intersection of interaction design, visual storytelling, and cultural research. With a foundation in human-centred design and accessibility, I explore how digital experiences can connect people across cultural and emotional boundaries.

MOHA: A Mobile Gateway to Classical Art

MOHA is a mobile app that helps young people engage with classical art in a fresh, interactive way. Users can browse masterpieces by five iconic artists, learn the stories behind each work, and purchase prints or send them as gifts. Designed with a clean, intuitive interface and responsive layout, MOHA bridges digital interaction with real-world art appreciation. Created using Figma (UI/UX), Adobe Illustrator (branding), and After Effects (motion design).

Expressive Weather: When the Forecast Has a Face

This playful weather app visualises temperature and mood through expressive emoji-like characters. Instead of dry numbers, users are greeted by faces that sweat, smile, or shiver based on real-time weather data. Designed for mobile, it uses bold colours, large type, and animated icons to make weather checking fun and emotionally engaging. Made with Figma (UI/UX) and Illustrator (icon design), this project explores the emotional side of data visualisation.
