Yanyi Luo is a web developer, designer, and writer.
There's a laundry list of my current skills that dart from bartending to violin-playing, but everything I do comes down to a love for craft, quality, and deep understanding, tempered by efficiency for anything I implement. If that sounds like something you like too, I'd love to work with you.

At the moment, I'm finishing up a degree in Information Science at Columbia University in spring 2013, and then who knows? I'm always up for an adventure.

The Brooklyn Institute for Social Research provides liberal arts educational opportunities to local communities in Brooklyn, NY. In late summer 2012, I designed their visual identity and new website, and developed an e-book plug-in that converted text files in readable, book-like interfaces for their ~Archive project.
