Hiii! I’m Diana Chao, a mother to a tiny human, a smol brown doggo and also an commercial animation director.
I have been in the commercial animation space for over 15 years now. I have been animating for broadcast commercials, developing anti- smoking content for teens with The Real Cost during the new age of social media, creating UI animations for clients like Peloton, Waymo, and Blavity. Touring shows with James Taylor, Hootie and the Blowfish, and glaming it up with Beauty Inc and Kiehl’s on large scale projection animations.
Needless to say, I have been around. I have dabbled in many spaces that animation has needed me and I am here to continue to be the vessel to bridge the visual identity to stories.
