Summary
Chelley Sherman is a Senior Creative Real-Time Graphics Engineer with 11 years blending interactive art and production-grade real-time systems for major entertainment venues. Based in California, she has led dynamic content teams at Madison Square Garden and now engineers immersive visuals at Sphere Entertainment, applying expertise in Unity/Unreal, real-time shaders, projection mapping, and VR. Her practice fuses psychology-informed investigations of perception and reverie with technical craft, producing installations and performances shown across San Francisco, LA, Detroit, and New York. A former Mozilla XR fellow and Gray Area instructor, she bridges creative mentorship and hands-on pipeline work, from substance-driven texturing to optimization for live events. Notably, her background in psychology informs her design of photic stimuli and non-linear narrative systems that prioritize cognitive engagement as much as visual spectacle.
