Meet Kevin Yao

Fun Facts:

I’m all about traveling to new countries and capturing the world’s beauty through my camera – mainly because it gives me an excuse to wander aimlessly and call it “art.” In recent years, I’ve traveled throughout Latin America, climbing active volcanoes in Guatemala, getting lost in Peru’s ancient ruins, and eating my way through much of Mexico. I’m always chasing that perfect golden hour shot and hoping it gets a lot of likes on Instagram. Next on my travel list is Southeast Asia. I’m itching to explore places like Laos and the Philippines, and I can’t wait to see what kind of landscapes and cultures will inspire my next set of photos.

What’s your favorite app?

Lightroom. It’s perfect for editing and organizing my photos. I like playing around with the colors and making all the little tweaks that make my shots pop.

What’s the most unusual thing in your office?

Light-up keyboard and mouse. These make working in the dark more fun.

Companies I’ve helped to grow and thrive:

  • ZwitterCo, Inc.

  • Novoron Bioscience, Inc.

  • Evofem Biosciences, Inc.

  • Nuvve Holding Corp.
