Bio
David Mayes
I have known and worked with Yiheng for the last several years and have always been impressed with her professionalism and attentiveness to detail. She is a very talented designer and I quite like her work. Two of the books we have done together are some of my favorite pieces and I would happily recommend her for design projects.

Yiheng Yu is an extraordinary designer. She has brilliant ideas, subtle interventions, and beautiful executions in her work. She also has tremendous photo-editing skills. She is steadfast, detail-oriented and someone who follow through to the end. In 2015-16, she designed my artist’s book for me, which consisted of 80 drawings with paint swatches in a 9 x 12 inch hard-covered volume. The results were outstanding and it is now in the collection of: The Getty Research Institute, Metropolitan Museum in NYC, and Smithsonian . Need I say more?
