Jerry Yan is a cross-disciplinary designer based in New York with a background in architecture and a focus on visual communication, systems thinking, and spatial storytelling. His work spans research-driven design, UX and interaction concepts, and visual narratives that translate complex ideas into clear, human-centered experiences across digital and physical contexts.


Trained in both conceptual design and hands-on construction, Jerry brings a strong sense of craft, narrative, and aesthetic cohesion to each project. He approaches every challenge with curiosity and care, creating work that feels both purposeful and human.


Outside of design, Jerry spends his time painting, wandering through the city, or layering sounds in his bedroom studio. He sees creativity as an ongoing practice of observation, shaped by everyday experiences and the environments we move through.
