About 

Born in Anhui, China, Yang Song is an aspiring designer. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Design from Qingdao University of Technology (QUT). where she graduated cum laude. A graduate student at MSD-AAD, Songd Yang will graduate with honors from the University of Pennsylvania in August of 2023. 

Her design is about the intersection. The intersection does not mean merger and compromise. On the contrary, the result of the intersection is often beyond people's existing knowledge. Therefore, when the situation is deadlocked, introducing new media can often bring new life.
