Yen organised Brisbane PARK(ing) Day in 2008. She is responsible for the positive response that has paved the way for PARK(ing) Day to be an annual event in Brisbane, and other Australian cities. In 2009, Yen is helping organise the day from Toronto, where she has been part of the Institute without Boundaries' World House Project.
Yen is an urban designer and creative strategist that is passionate about collaborative design, ideas, public spaces and urban issues. In 2008 Yen was the Planning Institute of Australia's National Young Planner of the Year, and was a finalist in the international Re:Vision competition on urban transport.

I started out helping a friend with Yen in 2008 ... now I'm helping keep the dream alive. My dream world has far fewer cars, more people on the streets enjoying them as outside spaces and sharing and exchanging thought, ideas and experiences in the public realm. An environmental planner by trade, I pride myself on being a creative thinker and love seeing strangers coming together to create beautiful spaces.

I have a passion for design and a humanitarian philosophy. I always aims to make a positive impact on people and the environment. I am a proud Landscape Architect who enjoys balancing my professional life with education and educating. I currently work at Yurrah and tutor at QUT.
In 2007 I was chosen to be an EDAW Intern. As an intern I attended an intense two week workshop at the Gold Coast and then had a fantastic time working in Fort Collins, Colorado. More recently I was a participant in the Whitsundays Studio which brought together QUT student and students from the School of Versailles to work with the community to address the future of their expanding town. Stay tuned for news of a publication of this workshop!
Photography is a passion of mine. I am usually found behind a camera and I'm sure that's where you'll find me on the 18 September!
