Yawei Zhang

Founder of Yaba Design

Eugene, OR, USA
I am eager to become a creator. I wish to design interesting, beautiful and smart object and bring property products to people. My intention is to learn to provide beauty and utility to their lives. I also believe I can achieve that through my dedication and passion. I think designers who always follow the basic rules, will miss out the enjoyable moments of the designing experience. I certainly won't be that person.
