She enjoys exploring new places through travelling and photography and is interested in how cities and architecture are represented in video games. For her work in the field of video game architecture, Yingying was awarded the Bronze Prize at the Bartlett B-Pro Show.

She has been living in Canada for the past fourteen years and is a graduate of the Environmental Design at UQAM in Montreal (Bachelor’s Degree, 2016) and Urban Design at University of Montreal (Master’s Degree, 2020).

She is passionate about exploring the context of urban analysis and diagnostics and the potentials of different environments as well as studying aspects of mobility and transportation.
