Jia Ling Yang

Founder | Creative Director | Cultural Technologist

Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I built my career at top agencies including TBWA\Chiat\Day and Anomaly NYC, working at the intersection of culture, entertainment, and technology. Now the founder of a venture-backed Web3 startup, I’m designing social infrastructure for a more creative, decentralized, and playful internet. My work spans anthemic films, interactive platforms, and art–blockchain collaborations, and has been recognized by Cannes Lions, One Show, Clio Awards, AICP, and Ad Age.
