Keone Chong is a multicultural creative technologist based out of LA. As a first-generation 80’s baby, He was raised by web 1.0, built his career in web 2, and now in web3, he is pioneering brand and product design.

He first earned his chops in traditional media. He started his career in journalism as a writer covering culture and technology for LA Times and MTV, then as digital director for FuseTV. He uses his expertise in Culture and Design systems to innovate community, technology, and commerce for future brands.

As one of the few true OG digital natives, Keone was the founder for digital agencies EM3 and Modus, and worked for traditional brands Apple, Google, The UN, Nike, and Youtube. He has since left that world to focus wholly on web3 experiences. His clients and partners now are brands that focus on building future communities.

You can see his work in collaborations with web3 brands BAYC, Music.com, Bankless , and protocols Nodle and Klayton. He is a consummate futurist exploring the intersection of culture and technology and what that means for identity and experience.
