About
Who We Are
Lab Fajiao is a boutique
PR and communication agency specializing in architecture, interiors, product, landscape design and art.
Fajiao means fermentation in Chinese. At
Lab Fajiao, we see brand building as a process of fermentation — one that does
not happen overnight, but develops gradually through thoughtful strategy,
meaningful interactions, and the right cultural context.
The Lab represents experimentation. We
believe every brand deserves a tailored approach rather than a formulaic
solution. Through continuous exploration and experimentation, we seek to
discover the strategies, narratives, and connections that allow each brand to
grow and resonate.
Our Team
Jessie Sheng
Founder
With over a decade of experience in
strategic communications for the design industry, Jessie has built her
expertise at the intersection of architecture, interior design, art, lifestyle and
culture.
Prior to founding Lab Fajiao, Jessie led
communications for internationally recognized design practices including MVRDV
and Perkins&Will in China, where she developed a deep understanding of how
creative ideas are shaped, communicated, and connected with broader audiences.
Her previous work includes communication
campaigns for landmark cultural, architectural, and educational projects,
including Shanghai Library East, Beijing Sub-Center Performing Arts Centre,
Shanghai West Bund Grand Theatre, Duke Kunshan University, and Westlake
University.
Drawing on strong media relationships and
an extensive network across designers, editors, and creative communities,
Jessie connects international brands, designers, and artists with China’s
evolving design and cultural landscape. Beyond generating media exposure, she
helps creative practices articulate their vision, foster meaningful dialogues,
and establish long-term recognition within China.
