Accomplished in both design and delivery, Yuyuen takes project leadership to another level with consummate communication of design thinking and quality relationships with clients and consultants. A keen collaborator, she enjoys using a range of tools – hand sketches, 2D and 3D diagrams, visualisation and physical models – to explore a design idea and carry it through.
Yuyuen was lured to Hayball by our work in student accommodation and an office culture which is connected and supportive. Since joining us nearly 10 years ago, her talent and adventurous spirit have catapulted her across a range of projects: from schools, the masterplanning of town centres and large scale urban developments, medium to large scale residential projects, through to mixed-use community buildings – most recently the Community Hub at the Dock in Melbourne’s Docklands.
Yuyuen loves nothing more than to push the design edges in a crossover of typology.
“I bring knowledge from one sector and apply it to another. The challenge is to see a project with fresh eyes, and work with clients to find the balance between understanding their aspirations and guiding them through the possibilities for a good design outcome.”
