Yaoyao is passionate about Landscape Architecture and Landscape Installation, focusing on the dynamics between human and ecological processes. In his graduation project at RMIT - Adaptable Shrinkage, is looking at how design can sustainably reuse urban leftovers to activate post-industrial city.
Through the lens of human and non-human world, his goal in design is to create diverse connections between humans and the environment around us."

He has worked alongside landscape architects across the globe as well as being a founding member of the Rotary’s “Road to Broadway” premier musical project in partnership with the Becon Foundation.
Nathan's recent work has seen the involvement and support from NSW Government and Councils where he investigates the complexities of coastal ecosystems and their cultural significance to Indigenous community groups. His methods used focuses on drawing as a way to capture, record and deliver stakeholder stories that go beyond data and science and include shared stories in tangent with the ephemeral nature of landscapes.
