Jiageng Guo is a Brooklyn-based architectural designer from Xinjiang, China, whose work explores the intersection of cultural identity and spatial storytelling. Raised in Xinjiang’s ethnically diverse communities, his practice explores cross-cultural dialogue through design—transforming architecture into a medium for shared experience.

As a seasoned architectural design lead, his projects spanning concept proposals to construction administration, Jiageng has led international teams to win high-profile design competitions, curated collaborative design competitions bridging global perspectives, and coordinated with Architects of Record (AORs) across Asia, Europe, and North America. His projects balance technical precision with cultural sensitivity, ensuring spaces resonate with both their users and their contexts.

The Grilling Hub is established in 2025, a collaborative studio he founded to reimagine design as a “culinary” process—melding diverse voices like ingredients to craft unexpected, inclusive solutions. This approach extends to his recent journeys into interior design and branding, where he partners with institutions and entrepreneurs to build cohesive spatial identities that merge narrative and function.

From rethinking retail environments to redefining institutional branding, his work underscores design’s power to connect communities and amplify underrepresented stories. Jiageng thrives on interdisciplinary challenges and invites collaborations that prioritize innovation, equity, and cultural exchange.
