Want to be an interactive producer? Aly Zhang says ‘craft an online presence’

As a multidisciplinary creative, Aly Zhang is never bored or wanting for a creative outlet. Here's how she does it.

Aly Zhang is an Australian born Chinese multidisciplinary creative – meaning she has her fingers in all sorts of content pies, whether that be acting, making music, smashing out complicated martial arts moves, or producing short films. She currently works as an Interactive Producer at design studio FutureLabs, and her latest film First Chair screened at this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival.

Experience in any field yields learning opportunities, and you’ll find that those skills are transferable to other fields too, such as your communication and time management skills. Often hobbies can turn into a career if you market yourself correctly and show you’ve put time and effort into them. Once you’re in, work hard, be respectful, give things a try and be willing to learn new skills!
