Jessica Ying
Is an Architectural Designer
Jessica received her Master of Architecture in 2019 from University of Toronto. She believes design is an art of translation - translating cultural values, surrounding environment, the need of people into something tangible so that relationships are built and people can experience and be connected to them.
She is also passionate about creating beautiful architectural drawings because the world of drawings brings room for imagination and hope. She has studied and worked on public exhibitions on urban design, private housing renovations, furniture fabrication, school construction and warehouse revitalization across different cities – Toronto, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Boston.
