Connecting Dots
There Is Beauty in Creation
Worthy of Our Greatest Efforts.
This website is dedicated to my students and design communities. It is designed to support self-learning, connect knowledge across different courses, cater to diverse learning needs by providing scaffolded pathways for progress, supporting beginners while enabling advanced learners to continue striving for design excellence. My goal is to offer accessible, up-to-date educational content that benefits the global design education community.
This platform is built upon my knowledge and experience, but I remain a lifelong learner. I am deeply grateful to all my students whose contributions have helped shape its content. Thank you for being part of this journey! — Yingying
About me
Hi, my name is Yingying
Dozens of studies over the last few decades in the acadamic sciences tell us when you learn something with the intention to teach it later, you learn it more deeply.
From my personal experience, I do believe the best way of learning is teaching.
My work as a design consultant has helped me to build a deeper understanding of a subject. However, Working with those future designers made me more accountable. However, working with young designers has made me more accountable. Teaching is a tall order—anyone can make a subject complicated, but only someone who truly understands it can make it simple.
My lovely students have pushed me to identify challenges and provide feedback quickly, allowing me to respond to the design directions they were exploring. They often raise great questions that help me explain topics more clearly each time. Most importantly, this process allows me to quickly identify gaps in my own knowledge.
“Any time we venture to teach anything to Anyone, we are likely to learn more than those we teach. We gain the most by giving.”
