ABOUT ME

Pat Yan About Portrait

I'm Patrick Yan, a web developer and graphic designer that is currently residing in Connecticut. As a designer, I developed a passion for technology and expanded into front-end engineering. Along the way, I honed my skills in user experience and visual design, allowing me to tackle projects from various perspectives.

My creative process is constantly influenced by the world around me, including painting, technology, architecture, typography, and more. I find inspiration in my surroundings, which fuels my self‑motivation and willingness to take on new challenges. My ultimate goal is to create designs that are not only clean and modern, but also truly unique.
