David Chen is a senior artist and creative whose work spans the full production pipeline—from pre-production design, concept art, styleframes, and illustration to CG, compositing, and VFX/post, with a growing focus on emerging tech and AI-driven workflows. This year alone he's worked across a wide range of standout projects, from the comic timing of Super Bowl spots featuring Will Ferrell, to the vivid, kaleidoscopic world of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, to the puzzle-box structure of Netflix series like Kaleidoscope. His portfolio also spans Emmy-nominated work such as Fire Island and cultural touchstones like Stranger Things, alongside commercial campaigns for brands including Apple and American Eagle.

With nearly a decade in the industry, David brings a sharp instinct for visual storytelling to every stage of a project. Because he works across both ends of the pipeline—shaping the look early through design and concept, then carrying it through CG and final composite—he sees the whole picture in a way few artists do. He's equally fluent in established tools and emerging tech, folding AI and new production methods into his process to push ideas further and faster. He's collaborated with a wide variety of teams, and each project has come with its own set of challenges and lessons. Whether it's the period detail of Godfather of Harlem or the tension of a network drama, what sets his work apart is the way he blends technical precision with creative intent—building images that hold attention and stay with you.

He's also a dedicated photographer, bringing the same eye to his stills that he brings to his digital work: a feel for light, layering, and the small moments that say the most. Across every frame, David's work reflects a consistent throughline of craft, focus, and artistry.
