Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am Yang Yan. I come from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (GAFA) background. I have graduated and stayed at the school to teach. Until now, GAFA has been a very important coordinate in my life. It gave me the origin of professional knowledge and starting point of my career. As a teacher, I am still engaged in teaching and professional practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It stems from the yearning for the beauty of art and life in youth. In general, the persistence of love, curiosity, and the driving force formed over the years make me constantly surpass myself, and I hope to be a designer who maintains creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been designing spaces for over 30 years. Before the official establishment of Yan Design Firm, we were a design studio with 4 or 5 people. In 2015, I founded Yan Design. Currently, we have more than 20 people, and the team is composed of multi-professional, multi-background, and energetic partners. The Yan Design team has always adhered to inter-professional design practices. Our project types involve urban research, architectural design, landscape design, interior design, brand visual design, exhibition planning, and execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design is a language for the team and me. By designing this language, we tell stories, construct spaces, and store memories. We create conversations with items, environments, and objects. Design is the value carrier that we have accumulated through past practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. What\u2019s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kindness. I believe a designer&#8217;s intention is to take care of the needs and perceptions of users. Whether it is a space environment, specific objects, utensils, or even a switch or a doorknob, if it has a &#8220;feeling&#8221; and a &#8220;sense of narration,&#8221; it will fascinate me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find constant inspiration in Europe and The Americas, particularly Italy and Brazil. I have a great appreciation for all styles of interior design, but I do gravitate towards natural materials and textures. I think they\u2019re timeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>SUPER Z Shopping Mall is a cultural and consumer landmark with a multi-dimension inspirational\u2026
