“Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.” —Paul Rand

Yayun first met Deborah Adler at Milton Glaser Inc in 2005. The two worked closely together for nearly 2 years before Adler decided to start a design studio of her own. In 2008, Yayun joined Adler Design, and though the team was small, they successfully made an impact in various fields of work—from the medical world, to the fashion industry. Yayun especially enjoys the process of brainstorming various concepts to a problem prior to designing it, it brings her even greater joy when the design yielded has made a difference. Yayun received her MFA degree in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. Additionally, she received an AOS degree with highest honors in the Illustration program from Pratt Institute, and was also a recipient of the Pratt Circle. In her spare time, she paints and makes crafts.
