Design a better future, create the reality, live the dream.

My name is Yen-Van Tran and I’m a Project Manager at an architect firm. I’m located in the Bay Area in California. I’m a minimalist, living a zero waste life and designing life hacks along the way. I design to save time, effort and energy.

I’m a student of design, whether it is in the realm of architecture or industrial innovation. I’m fascinated with the efficiency of products and how people go about using them. Design has a responsibility to be efficient, easy to maintain and grow with society’s digital, industrial and agricultural production; while still protecting natural resources.

This is why I started my zero waste journey. I wanted to create a life that was simple, environmentally responsible and sustainable. I also snowboard during the appropriate months, so my awareness of the natural environments that I seek out to enjoy, could inevitably be threatened by the decisions I make with the products I use day-to-day.

One of my biggest fears is the extinction of natural habitats, animals and environmental resources. We only have one planet and our resources will only last so long.
