# Brandon Yap > Product Designer at Philo Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/brandonyap Born and raised in the Bay Area, I was always surrounded by incredible art and inspiration that eventually created a lifelong relationship with art and design. Today, I channel my passion to help companies solve creative problems and build exciting new experiences for people through the power of design.
