I hope that the future ‘Y Show’ is not only a platform for graduates to show their art works, but also to build a deep connection between business and design industry.

Mr. Siza Cham, one of the local instructors, expressed, “I am honored to be one of the instructors of ‘Y Class’. I am glad to exchange ideas with the students who are also passionate about design.
