Design Director | US West, Stantec
As Design Director for the US West region, Yan leads with a focus on excellence and a commitment to fostering a vibrant culture across the organization. With a diverse portfolio spanning higher education, healthcare, civic and justice, cultural, science and technology, hospitality, and housing sectors, Yan brings a multidisciplinary lens to each project.
Yan is known for championing biophilic design, embodied carbon reduction, and the integration of art and architecture. His approach is rooted in the belief that his work is a process of discovery where meaning emerges through geometric and material exploration; it is not defined by a singular aesthetic, but by a conviction in the mission, resulting in expressive, functional, and culturally resonant architecture.
