The power of design
Yani Liu is a multidisciplinary designer from Seattle with experience in architectural design, landscape architecture and regional planning. In her work, she explores the power of design as a connecting element between people, places, technology and emotions. Her focus is on projects that address social and environmental issues or often-overlooked demographic groups, such as aids for people with face blindness or disaster-response spaces in Puerto Rico.
About Yani Liu
Design is poetry in practice—measured not by perfection, but by presence. It becomes meaningful when it creates space: for stories to unfold, for questions to surface, for connections to form. It is not an answer, but an invitation to begin.
