Fun fact: What does ‘Yi’ mean?
In Chinese, Yi (易) means ‘versatility’ and ‘change’. The shape of the character is a combination of the sun (日) and moon (月), depicting the ever-changing world. As a designer, I see myself as a change agent to a more empathetic society and a better future to live in 🙂
