Who is
Yan Yan?

✨ Story started with industrial design

Industrial design practice broadened my horizon and sparked my interest in emotional design, social behavior, and human connection.​

✨ I found a love for experience design

I transferred to interaction design after and started to explore the possibilities in the intersection between physical and digital spaces.

I believe that design can deliver joy, generate fresh curiosity, even bring the magic to life.
The moment when people feel being cherished is when design truly sparkles through.
