About
Thoughtful. Elevated. Enduring.
Listen to a deep dive on YC Style + Design in this episode of Destination Design: Arrive in Style.
“Good design tells a story and evokes emotion. You feel it - energy, joy, serenity, safety, love. As a designer, I’m fortunate to gain trusted entry into someone’s world. It’s my responsibility and privilege to learn who my clients are - their story, background, and heritage - what they care about and how they want to experience, live in, and perform in their spaces.”

Yau is devoted to delivering thoughtful, elevated, and enduring style and design for her clients. Before, opening her award-winning interior design studio, Yau was an InStyle-featured jewelry designer and managing director of a leading global bank. Now, Yau and her team at YC Style + Design specialize in custom interior design and decor, and home renovations. The YC Style + Design experience is about infusing you with confidence, tapping into the fun in transformation, minimizes stress, and makes the most of your time and investment. The YC Style + Design impact is design that feels authentic, is customized to your aesthetic and lifestyle, and gives you a profound sense of being at home.
Good design is functional, beautiful, and broadly appealing. But, great design is so much more. Yau believes that to be uniquely you is the ultimate in luxury. Our process strives to achieve this definition of luxury. We start by focusing on understanding your authenticity - your lived experiences and heritage, what’s closest to your heart, what brings you peace and joy, who you share your life with, and how you engage with and move through the world.
As part of her signature approach to design, Yau incorporates feng shui in her artistry. This ancient practice harnesses the intrinsic power of elemental properties and involves mindful space planning, selection of furnishings and finishes, and purposeful use of color to encourage the free flow of positive energy in a space. Achieving a harmonious balance of energy can promote mental and physical wellbeing, build abundance in career and relationships, and mitigate the impact of negative energy in a space.
Our client experience is collaborative and centers around you. Through co-creation, the magic happens. We work with you to tell your story through light, color, texture, pattern, and shape. Thoughtful intent goes into developing design concepts and plans that transform your spaces to resonate with your authentic taste and lifestyle. Luxurious furnishings, fixtures and finishes are brought together to lift mood and energize, bring peace and tranquility, and/or optimize function and performance.
Together, with an ecosystem of artisans and professionals, YC Style + Design creates well-loved and well-lived spaces that are tailored to clients’ authentic lives, personal styles, and performance requirements. Yau and her team strive for and deliver luxury interior design for a beautiful life.
