Hands-on director & design leader

Portrait of Chad Tafolla

I’m an award-winning, hands-on design leader working at the intersection of brand and digital experience currently living in the Los Angeles, CA area.

At my core, I’m a designer and thrive being a player/coach while leading teams to strategize and execute on category defining work.

Over the last two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of being an entrepreneur, leading and building teams large and small for some of the best agencies in the world, launching innovative products at a Fortune 50 company and several early-stage startups.

I believe smart, strategic design can change business outcomes and have worked on everything from brand identity, campaigns, digital experiences, products and experiential for clients such as Nike, Pepsi, L’Oréal, Discord, Dropbox, Oculus, Hims and many others.
