About Yvonne

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

I have both in-house and freelance experiences. 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?
