Brenda Chen

I’m an immersive media designer and XR artist working at the intersection of art, music, and tech to craft experiences that are vibrant, thought-provoking, and fun. I've directed virtual concerts for John Legend and Jauz and created content for The Weeknd, Tinashe, Dillon Francis, and more. 

​

A one-stop shop for all things XR -- I design and build interactive installations and VR/AR experiences, manage large teams and budgets, work across the 3D asset creation pipeline (modeling, texturing, rigging, shaders, lighting, animation, vfx), write code for interactions and tools, and work with a variety of devices (Rift, Vive, Magic Leap, Leap Motion, Kinect, Arduino, LEDs, projectors) and programs (Unity, Unreal, Adobe Creative Suite, TouchDesigner, Maya, Cinema4D, Substance Painter).

​

​

If you have any questions about my work or are interested in connecting please reach out! I'd be happy to collaborate or chat about art and emerging tech.
