About

Helena Dong is an experiential art director and creative technologist based in New York.

Balancing precision and play, she designs transient activations across AR/MR/VR and envisions systems that don't yet exist, all with the aim of inviting curiosity and fostering thoughtful participation. She enjoys recontextualizing the material world—whether it's a space, a body, or a face.

Outside her role as a senior art director at BUCK, Helena is enthralled by themes of space-time, movement, and the esoteric.
