Lighting artist, lighting designer, and founder of YILUN LAB — a creative lighting lab shaping emotion, space, and future experiences through light.

Yilun Zhan portrait

Her practice focuses on creating emotional, immersive, and human-centered experiences through light — across spatial design, installation, performance, and emerging technology.

With a background in professional lighting design and a growing body of artistic and interdisciplinary work, she brings both conceptual vision and design sensitivity to projects that seek stronger emotional impact and distinctive visual identity.

She is especially interested in collaborations in art, culture, hospitality, wellness, and future-facing experiences — where light can shape how people feel, connect, and remember a space.
