Esther Sze-Yen Chan
Hello! I'm Esther 思贤 Chan (she/her/hers)
I want to tell stories in innovative ways that educate, move, and empower people to act.
I've edited and directed mini-documentaries, TV ads, and social media videos for leading progressive campaigns, non-profits, and brands. I helped launch Elizabeth Warren’s video brand on her Senate re-election and presidential campaign, leading over 150+ video projects and editing a launch video that garnered over 3.8+ million views. Before that, I pioneered a video strategy at the advocacy nonprofit, The ONE Campaign. And before that, I was a video intern at The Obama White House. And before all that...I grew up eating my mom's Chinese home cooked food in Diamond Bar, CA.
I’m passionate about making videos for social change, laughing out loud, cooking in my trusty wok, and embroidering for my friends.
I am an editor, motion graphics designer, producer (of dumplings), and a storyteller who wants to make this world a better, more wholehearted place. Let's do it together.
