Hi, I’m Yi Cheng (Ethan) Shao, a senior in Design & Environmental Analysis at Cornell University.
The profound respect I have for Mies Van Der Rohe’s motto “Less is More” is what made me love Design. Through my day-to-day interactions with various Bauhaus projects, I have felt the effectiveness of the strategies put in place through extensive research into each project. I firmly believe in utilizing design as a tool for social and environmental betterment, with user experience and sustainability at the core of my design philosophy.
