Ying Ying LeeThe name “Sophisticated Adventure” comes from Ying Ying’s Style Statement, created for her by Carrie McCarthy, two words that define a person’s authentic self. It’s a two-word compass for creating a life that reflects what’s true to the person. The first word of the style statement reflects the person’s inner foundation, 80%. The second word is the person’s creative edge, 20%—and it’s often this 20% that people don’t nurture. The 80/20 principle’s combination of energy, ideals, and aesthetics is a powerful equation for creating ease and results in your life. (www.stylestatement.com)

For Ying Ying, her inner foundation is “Sophisticated” and her creative edge is “Adventure”. This is how she strives to live her life and now she strives to bring this philosophy to her work, always aiming to be sophisticated with an adventurous edge.
