Ying Chen

Tastemaker

Originally a marketer and a sociologist, Ying Chen sought a career in which she could constantly create and realize her imaginations, something that would bring people happiness. Some three years ago, she left behind her office job and moved to Paris to learn the art of French pastries—and she hasn’t looked back. As a pâtissière (pastry chef), Ying believes that her creations are more than sweet things that give people pleasure. For her, pastries are a way to communicate directly with people, sharing her thoughts, aspirations and feelings.
