Yuanqi Zhang is a college student now studying design in SVA, and spent 18 years living in China and 3 years in NYC. I felt deeply connected with nature. I love doing things like walking in green, observing animals, or zoning out at clouds and recording them with photos. I'm also a huge fan of animation and a big video game lover. Besides all that, drawing is my lifelong hobby and the reason I step on the design path.

I'm an empathetic person who is always supportive of everyone around me and able to understand other's feelings and thoughts instantly. I'm good at anticipating what people need the most and coming up with effective solutions. Although I'm an introvert, I am not against communication and am always open to any negotiation that can help me solve the case more fluently.  

I also consider myself a realistic idealist or an imaginator. Not only because I can't stop building a fantasy broad world in my head but also because it is tied to my predictions for the future. I have set many ambitious goals for my future self, and I am always expecting the best. But I always remember to keep reality in the back of my mind and use it as a standard to determine whether my ideas can live in the real world and help people in need.

Finally, as a creator, I'm always proud to build something from scratch to something that "wow" people. A great design shouldn't just look good; it needs to fit in reality and bring joy to people who use it. I'm an observant person, and I care a lot about details. I believe fine details can determine how far the project can go. I love to sculpt them and make them as close as possible. I'm still exploring that path, and I hope that in the near future, I'll be able to take my designs hand in hand with the greater public.
