About Yachan Yuan : I am a Visual Effects Artist specializing in VFX and Visual Design, with a strong focus on creating visually engaging works that promote cultural symbols and narratives. My work is driven by a passion for combining stories with cutting-edge digital technologies to craft compelling visual experiences. I believe that powerful visuals can evoke deep emotions, tell meaningful stories, and enhance the way people connect with content.
My diverse educational background includes an MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design, along with degrees from Tongji University, Aalto University, and Nanjing Normal University. This mix of traditional art education and modern digital skills has shaped my approach to visual design and VFX.
My professional experience includes working as a Nuke compositor on projects such as Jimmy Kimmel Hosting the Oscars 2024, Apex, Call of Duty, and contributing to creative campaigns for brands like Xfinity, Apple, and Toyota. I am passionate about the power of visual storytelling to evoke emotion and communicate meaningful narratives, shaping impactful experiences through every frame.
