Riling Chen
Trainee Asst Art Director - GAP
ON - Ontario District Council
My name is Riling, and I am a trainee assistant art director, joining the film world from a background in architecture. My goal is to work at the intersection of storytelling and design as a set designer. Studying architecture encouraged me to live in cities around the world, where I was able to explore the role of art and storytelling in the progress of a community. These experiences showed me that stories can bond us and create cross cultural connections—that they can deepen our understanding of each other. Throughout the past five years, I alternated between school and working as a designer for studios in New York, Toronto and Vancouver, where I contributed to various types of projects, from a high-rise office tower in Hudson Yards to a middle school in Squamish, BC. There, I’ve picked up skills like drafting, 3D modelling, visualization and project coordination. Outside of work, you can find me singing or sitting on a bench sketching.
