Originally from China, Jiangyao Shen embarked on her artistic journey that spans continents and disciplines. She graduated from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and currently resides in Los Angeles. Jiangyao's cinematic pursuits are fueled by an insatiable curiosity and passion for blending culture, architecture, and fashion. Her works were showcased in the CITYX Venice Italian Virtual Pavilion in 2023.

Rooted in her architectural training, she possesses an eye for perceiving aesthetics, a penchant for spatial design, and an ability to translate abstract concepts into captivating visual narratives. Her creative journey thrives on the interplay of these worlds.

As a 3D artist, her canvas is dynamic, alive with motion graphics, intricate 3D models, and software orchestration that breathes life into her creative visions. Beyond the conventional, her technical prowess extends to unconventional realms—cloth design, textile design, jewelry design, and avatar design. Through the lens of her directorial vision, these realms are transformed into captivating cinematic landscapes, inviting audiences to embark on a unique visual journey.

Her goal is to transcend conventional boundaries and ignite immersive and interactive experiences that bridge the chasm between the tangible and the virtual. She endeavors to transport her audience into realms where reality and imagination coalesce, creating a profound connection that lingers long after the cinematic experience has concluded.
