Helen Liu Fong (January 14, 1927–April 17, 2005) was a Chinese-American architect and interior designer from Los Angeles, California.
Fong was an important figure in the Googie architecture movement, designing futuristic buildings like Norms Restaurant, the Holiday Bowl, Denny's, Bob's Big Boy, and Pann's Coffee Shop that helped usher in an era of boomerang angles, dynamic forms and neon lights.
Fong became one of the first women to join the American Institute of Architects, and worked with Armet and Davis on many of her most well-known projects.
Many of Fong's best-known building designs feature large glass fronts and bold colors on interior walls, designed to stand out and entice potential customers.
