Entering the construction and architecture industry by chance, Yuri found he excels in procurement and project management. In a pursuit to integrate his past experience and his life-long interest in audiovisual equipment, he landed a Design Engineer position at TEECOM. There’s nothing Yuri enjoys more than the challenge of designing for prominent clients and recommending cutting-edge audiovisual products that are also reliable and functional.

While growing up, Yuri cooked dinner every night alongside his French mother. Cooking dinner every night is a tradition he continues with his own children. Gathering around the dinner table is a valuable time for bonding and showcases the various pasta dishes, stews, and BBQ they prepare together. Bon appétit!

Yuri is always looking for an interesting project that has a clear beginning and end. As a child, Yuri found a hobby in operating the technical side of musical theater. You plan a show, you build the show, you do the show, and then you’re done. Yuri has played many roles behind the scenes. He might simply rent out the proper equipment, sometimes he performs sound reinforcement beforehand, while other times he runs the audio and lights for the entire show.

Scandinavian Design

When Yuri was accepted into UC Davis’ Interior Design program, he set out with the guidance of two professors to develop an Environmental Design major with a Furniture Design concentration, as it aligned closer to his interests. Yuri has always enjoyed working with wood and metal to create furniture, implementing a Scandinavian look with clean, modern lines.
