Zoë Chavez is an experiential designer and multimedia artist whose work sits at the intersection of spatial storytelling, interactivity, and materiality.

Born and raised in San Diego, Zoë has been sewing since the age of 12, writing interactive stories since 13, building sets and props since 14, and working as an event technician since 15. Never one to abandon a passion, she has been honing these skills and more for over a decade. Eager to expand her creative vision, Zoë earned an MFA in Themed Entertainment Design and an MA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art and Design, after earning a BA in Theater Design & Production from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Merging her love for games and live entertainment, Zoë set her sights on the immersive and themed experiences industry with the goal of building interactive worlds rooted in a consideration for what makes experiences memorable for guests. She has followed this pursuit across her career, which includes working for companies such as Disney Live Entertainment and Telfair Museums. Additionally, she has had the opportunity to work on projects with Universal Creative and publish insights into the experiential retail market in collaboration with BeautyMatter.

Driven by her love of interactive design and her tactile sensibilities, Zoë also has her own her multimedia art practice, through which she explores interactive, responsive, and narrative textiles for fine art, themed experiences, and fashion. She has exhibited work in California, Georgia, and Illinois.
