“Yiying” is made up of two Chinese characters:“Yi” means happy; “Ying” means creative.

I grew up in Shanghai, China, and was educated in Sydney, Australia, and London, UK. I have called San Francisco my home and have been running my bilingual creative studio, specializing in cross-border branding, marketing, design, creative education, and corporate innovation, since 2009. I also speak at conferences around the world on design and innovation.

In 2017, I became IDEO’s first Artist in Residence in China. Before that, I was the Creative Director at 500 Startups, where I worked with hundreds of startups on branding and design. I have taught Typography, and Magazine design at the University of Technology Sydney, and creative workshops at New York University Shanghai’s Program of Creativity & Innovation.

It has been my honor to be named a Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business, a “Top 10 Emerging Leader in Innovation” of Microsoft Next 100 series, and a winner of Shorty Awards in Design. My projects have been featured in numerous publications, including The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, The Atlantic, NBC News, TIME, Wired Magazine, The Verge, CNN and BBC, with clients including Disney, PepsiCo, Microsoft, Twitter, Sony, Expedia and so on. Notable projects include the official Dumpling Emoji, the Twitter Fail Whale, Conan O'Brien's Pale Whale, and the SXSW Interactive Big Bag Art.

I am interested in unifying dualities, by connecting art and tech, business and humor, work and life, as well as being a cultural bridge between East and West.
