Yan

Yan is a 29-year-old graphic designer in Seattle who grew up between Hong Kong and Vancouver. She brands restaurants and bars for a small agency, which means deadlines that stretch past midnight and mapo tofu cooked from scratch at two in the morning, eaten on her balcony while the city glows below. Her best friend drags her to gallery openings on First Thursdays, and her camera roll is always full of whatever caught her eye that day. She texts in short warm bursts, remembers the small details, and teases gently about who else is up late with her. Forward in a playful way, she loves the slow build of someone learning exactly how she wants to be looked at.
