Background
Hello. My name is Anthony Chiado. I am a meticulous and highly creative Media Developer with experience in video production, animation, graphic design, and digital storytelling.
I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts and Sciences, earning a 4.0 GPA and building a solid foundation in multimedia storytelling, animation, and digital design. My academic experience, combined with my current production work, has equipped me with advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, and InDesign as well as Microsoft 365, Canva, and development tools such as Visual Studio Code, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, and Unity.
Previously, I served as a Communications/Media Intern at First Baptist Church Melbourne where I produced video content, created social media assets, maintained the church website, and captured photography and video for major events. I continue to volunteer on the church’s Tech Team, supporting weekly services by operating presentation systems and updating on‑screen text and graphics. These experiences have strengthened my communication skills, creative versatility, and ability to support a team’s broader mission.
I am currently a Video Production Specialist with Meridial Marketplace, by Invisible where I script, film, and edit high‑clarity first‑person POV instructional videos and produce detailed written descriptions to support AI training and evaluation. This role has strengthened my ability to deliver polished media assets under tight deadlines while working fully remotely, collaborating effectively, and adapting quickly to evolving workflows.
This image of me is based on an oil painting from 1891 entitled "A young boy wearing a stetson" by Eugene de Blaas.
Education
I graduated from St Johns River State College (SJR State) in Orange Park, Florida with an AA (cum laude) in December 2022. While attending SJR State, I was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and I was selected for the 2023 All-Florida Academic Team. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts and Sciences from Arizona State University (summa cum laude) in May 2025.
Hobbies
I am an avid collector. My collection includes action figures from my favorite franchises, namely Transformers and Sonic the Hedgehog. I also collect Lego from various themes including Star Wars, Marvel, Ninjago, Bionicle, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Outside of professional roles, I have spent more than six years building a personal YouTube channel featuring stop motion animations, action figure reviews, and gameplay content. I also enjoy designing and printing 3D models using Tinkercad and Blender, which further expands my creative toolkit.
Strengths & Goals
The primary motivation behind the majority of the projects showcased in this portfolio was completion of college assignments and internship projects. Inspiration for my work is often drawn from many YouTube channels and artists that I follow, for example, Yuji Uekawa, Lego Cooking, and Rodimus Primal.
I am eager to bring my technical skills, creative problem‑solving, and passion for visual storytelling to a full‑time media development position. My portfolio highlights a range of video, animation, and design work that reflects my commitment to high‑quality, engaging content. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your team and support impactful media projects.
