Spatial Computing & XR Experience Designer/Developer

Jonah Ling

A multi-award-winning digital generalist with a diverse skill set that ranges from VR application development to environmental design, virtual production and beyond.

Originally trained as an architect, I now bring the same rigour and creative problem solving to virtual design. My heart lies in humanising our digital world by reimagining the user interface.
