About
Hi there! I’m Aly Zhang, a Chinese Australian creative working across film, comedy, performing arts, and digital media as an actor, improviser, comedian, and occasional filmmaker and writer, with a background in martial arts, music, and the creative arts.
I love creating stories and experiences that feel human, engaging, and emotionally resonant—whether that's on screen, on stage, behind the scenes, or online.
My work spans film, television, theatre, live performance, and commercial campaigns, with credits including Netflix, Paramount+, Apple TV+, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the Melbourne Fringe Festival, alongside brands such as McDonald's, Mastercard, Adidas, Lexus, Cadbury, Deloitte, SkinCeuticals, Disney Australia, Warner Bros. Australia, and Sony Pictures.
Alongside my creative work, I have a professional background in digital product, content, strategy, and operations across technology, finance, the arts, and FMCG, bringing together storytelling, creativity, and business thinking in everything I do.
