Yvonne Cheng is a business-driven creative leader focused on building brands, products, and teams through strong craft, clear strategy, and disciplined execution.


My background spans top creative agencies like Droga5 and BBDO, and leadership roles across platforms and brands, including Tumblr, TikTok, and Amazon.

I’m most energized by environments where creative excellence and business impact are deeply connected.
