About me
interior design with interactive background
interior design with interactive background
I’m Yajie Zhao, an interior designer with a background in interactive design, bringing together spatial thinking, digital systems, and strong visual communication.
Beyond technical skills, I have a solid foundation in graphic composition, layout, and storytelling, which allows me to create work that is not only functional and user-centered, but also visually refined and compelling.
My approach focuses on shaping thoughtful experiences through space, narrative, and design clarity.
what I can do for you
As a digital designer, I am a visual storyteller, crafting experiences that connect deeply and spark creativity.

MY DESIGN TOOLKIT
These are the primary tools I use throughout my design process, though they represent only part of my broader workflow. From interior design development to visual communication and digital presentation, I select tools based on the needs of each project, using them to support research, technical precision, rendering, and storytelling.
Revit
Used for technical development, spatial coordination, and construction-based interior documentation.
Enscape
I use Enscape as part of my visualization workflow to generate real-time renderings that communicate atmosphere, lighting, and material experience.
Rhino
I use Rhino for precision modeling and advanced form development, especially when exploring custom geometries, spatial details, and more experimental design ideas.
SketchUp
Used for fast 3D modeling, spatial testing, and layout exploration.
Adobe creative
I use Adobe tools as a core part of my visual communication workflow.
