About

Jackie Huang Linayao is an art director & designer located in the SF Bay Area.

Hi, I'm Jackie.

Bay Area born and bred, mom to two amazing girls, and thankful every day that I get to be a creative for a living. I have had a dream career as a designer, art director, creative director, and most recently a director behind the camera.

With over twelve years of experience leading teams and building brands at agencies and killer in-house shops, I’m the unique creative who can plot out the big picture while also obsessing over the details that matter.

I’m passionate about telling stories with depth and authenticity. I love the intersection of creativity and business. I care deeply about the products and brands I work on, and I want every single touchpoint to be awe-inspiring. But most importantly, I am invested in cultivating teams where everyone (and their work) gets to shine.

Currently located in the SF Bay Area.
Let's talk about big opportunities… and the Raiders (for better or for worse).
