“some say less is more, others say more is more. I say just right, is the only way to go”
About Susan Yen
Hello and welcome. It’s always a bit tricky to talk about myself, because I rather talk about you and design ideas that may be helpful to you. But here we go …
OEM PM (original equipment manufacturing Program Manager) was a title I once identified with for the first couple years of my professional career
Got lucky and found UCLA Arc_ID program, that changed my life
Before becoming a freelance designer I’ve had the pleasure of working in outstanding Design and Architecture firms such as HBA, and SOM.
Took some time to better myself for the greater good of the design and build community, studied really hard and became a LEED A.P. (Leadership in environmental and energy design, accredited professional). What does it mean? It means I design with your health in mind.
Nearly gave up my freedom as a freelancer and went to work for Foster and Partners, but my 4 year old son at the time coerced me out of that, which I still regret from time to time
Don’t have a house style as everything I do focuses on bringing my clients’ vision to life. Because really it’s not about me, it’s about you.
So I think I’ve said enough about myself, would be lovely to learn a bit about you too !
