About

Hiii! I’m Diana Chao!

A mother to a tiny human, a smol brown doggo and 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. I was 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.
