Erin (Yiting) Hou was born in Shenzhen, China—a city where tradition gradually blends with modernity. With ten years of training in Chinese painting and a degree from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, she developed a design philosophy rooted in the belief that great design should combine practicability, a balance of light and shade, and the integration of dynamic and static elements. To her, excellent design achieves perfect functionality while fulfilling people’s aesthetic and spiritual needs.
