Yvonne & her partner, Eric Chak, invest a lot of time grow Envisione’s team and cultivating a unique culture that values creativity, empathy, collaboration, caring, learning, improving, risk-taking, work-life balance, and having fun.’

“We DISCOVER and care about people business’ needs, We CREATE happy, healthy productive workplaces. We DELIVER world-class forward-thinking solutions for a changing future”

As a lead visionary, she feels learning to be a great leader is more challenging than designing. It Involves spending lot of time interacting with people, understanding their concerns. Videos & books by Simon Sinek, Daniel Pink, John Maxwell, Brene Brown, and others help her to improve her leadership skills. Through constant practicing and learning from her failures, she hopes she serves her team better and better.

The mission of Envisione is to create a work environment that values people. Yvonne is a firm believer that everyone, regardless of company size, position, or money, deserves a joyful, healthy, and productive working environment.

Envisione's design begins with empathy. She pays close attentions to people‘s concern and expresses genuine understanding & address their problems and requirements in their design.

As a lead visionary, every day she is supported by an exceptional team. They share same values and always learning and improving together. The Envisione’s distinct culture, sets it apart from its competition. Many Envisione’s projects partner with local artists that integrate art into the workplace that reflects client's value & culture.

Envisione’s team has designed over 2.1 million square feet of workspace since starting its studio four years ago, most of which are in Hong Kong, but also in Tokyo, Osaka, and Manila. Microsoft, Manulife, Morgan Stanley, Natixis, HSBC, WPP, adidas, 3M, Covestro, China Merchant Bank, and other Fortune 500 businesses are among theirs clients.

Yvonne Chow says, 4 years ago, Eric Chak, my business partner, convinced me to open a design studio together. We started with 4 persons and now we have almost 30 people. We didn’t expect the company to grow so quickly as our priority is to deliver good quality design & provide a great experience to our clients. Stay hungry, Stay foolish as Steve Jobs encouraged. My father always said to me, be humble. My mother gave me a middle name that means perseverance. All of these factors have contributed to who I am today and will continue to be in the future. IEWL
