Twenty years shaping spaces, brands, events and exhibitions into places people remember.
Every piece fills the grid by its real-world scale, from a paper tree you can hold to Africa's Pavilion at the World Expo. Tap one and see it through his eyes.
Explore the work, meet the maker, or tell me about the world you want built.

Written from the real-life story of Alex, who plays himself, with a stop-motion tribute to Nasreddin as its climax. Yana shaped the film's world from first sketch to final cut: its characters, its handmade sets and its story on screen.
I'm a creative director and multidisciplinary designer based in Singapore, with more than twenty years across spatial design, branding, art direction, events and exhibitions.
I trained in interior design at Temasek Polytechnic and today lead KTVST Studio, also known as The Kreativist. Every project starts the same way: I imagine the world first, then build each detail that lets you step inside it.
Thank you for walking through mine.
