“The greatest creation of the future isn’t just building spaces—it’s building a better connection between people and the world." — Linda Meng
Co-Founder | Global Lifestyle Creator | Cross-Cultural Innovation Leader Over the past two decades, Linda Meng has moved fluidly between different countries, cultures, and ways of living. From China to Europe, and then to the United States, her career journey has spanned three continents—shaping her distinctive global perspective. With years of experience living between China and Europe, she gained deep exposure to European architectural artistry, luxury hotels, interior and home design, and the broader lifestyle industry. Upon entering the U.S. market, she further came to understand the spirit of innovation, business logic, and the evolving lifestyle needs of the globalized era.
These cross-cultural experiences gradually led her to recognize that the most valuable creation in the future is not simply designing a space, but creating a lifestyle that can transcend cultural boundaries. It was with this belief that she founded IAID.
For Linda Meng, IAID is not just a design firm—it is also a platform connecting art, design, business, manufacturing, and international resources. Through this platform, she aims to bring together the depth of Eastern culture, the refinement of European aesthetics, and the innovative spirit of the U.S., crafting lifestyle experiences for clients worldwide that combine quality, culture, and value. As a female entrepreneur, she has always believed that true luxury is not merely the possession of material things, but the pursuit of a higher standard of life, cultural understanding, and spiritual meaning. What she cares about has never been only the architecture or the space itself. It is people, families, culture, and the future—behind the space.
Today, she continues to lead IAID in expanding its international footprint, advancing design exchange, industrial collaboration, and resource sharing among China, Europe, and the United States—committed to building a globally influential lifestyle platform.
For Linda Meng, design is only the starting point. Connecting the world is her true mission.
