Yifan Kong works at the point where an identity stops being a fixed image and begins to behave. Based in Beijing, he brings together graphic design, web, and motion to create visual languages that move between pages, screens, and spaces. Born in Jinan in 2002, his experience includes collaborations with UDL, NR2154 NYC, New Apology, and 702.
