About Yvonne

I am a designer and dog lover who is based in New York City.

I’m currently the Lead Interactive Designer at Gin Lane Media. My approach to design is to create works that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, with a focus on usability. I believe in sharing ideas with other brilliant designers, clients, and not let ideas burn in a vacuum.

My greatest satisfaction other than my family, friends, and my dog Nacho, is to create designs that has a voice and personality that represents my client. I’m constantly learning about design, through books, online resources, and everyday life.

Oh, did I mention my last name is Lao?
