YY — Why?
Every design decision begins with a question.
Why this color? Why this typeface? Why this interaction?

Hi! My name is Yong Yi and I believe in purposeful creativity and that great design isn't just about how it looks, but why it works. I approach every project by understanding the problem, challenging assumptions, and crafting thoughtful, functional solutions.

My work is clean, intentional, and rooted in curiosity.
Let's talk about the why behind your next idea.
