Yas Banks

Community & Social Coordinator

Yas is a northern-born multidisciplinary designer specialising in story-led, inclusive and visually bold work across arts, culture, hospitality and entertainment. Her approach is grounded in social listening, shaped by collaboration, translating insight into design that feels considered and human. She brings ideas to life with curiosity, attention to detail and a calm, ego-free energy. Alongside her practice, Yas is passionate about supporting and creating space for women in design – championing honest conversation, connection and representation within the creative industry. Yas is based in Manchester, UK.

"Design education is where the real change happens – helping people find their place, build confidence and see their perspective as valuable. It’s about opening doors, creating space for people to show up as themselves and grow from uncertainty into confidence."
