She is interested in bringing people together through cultural experience. Her practice focuses on creating meaningful spatial experiences for diverse audiences. Trained at the University of Edinburgh and the Architectural Association, she combines storytelling with architecture and innovative design.

Her project Zao Tang (as part of STIGMA), a pop-up gallery on Asian arts and feminism, was supported by Arts Council England. Since 2022, Cong has been working closely with renowned architect Sir Peter Cook, including exhibitions worldwide and recently on the Play Pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery in collaboration with the LEGO Group.
