Mr. Yiyang has been practicing in the field of Architecture since 2012. His studies in architecture began with his undergraduate work at the University of Liverpool at Liverpool, UK. In 2017, he completed his first Masters degree at University of Liverpool where he also served as a Teaching Assistant in the design documentation curriculum. Professional experience was first gained under the employ of Atelier Deshaus, Shanghai and later at B+U Architecture, LA while concurrently working at MAKE Architecture, LA.

As one of the D5 render development team, he was invited as speaking guest to present 'D5 animation' workflow workshop at Harvard GSD on September, 2022.
