Yaya Zhang 张文瑾 (Co-Creator/Visual Designer) is a set designer from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, born and raised in Nanjing, China. Her journey began with a deep love for drawing and a fascination with how space holds memory and emotion. She is drawn to stories that live between cultures—where language falters and feeling begins. At Yale, she seeks to unlearn limits and reframe Chinese aesthetics through fresh forms and gestures. She believes in theater as a collaborative act of empathy—an art of listening, shaping, and trusting. Her work searches for quiet clarity in complexity and connection across distance.
