About
David Duarte -
Production Designer // Art Director
I’m a Los Angeles–based Production Designer and Art Director working across commercials, music videos, and narrative projects. My work focuses on building visually grounded, story-driven environments that support performance, tone, and brand identity.
I currently collaborate with directors, agencies, and production teams on commercial, narrative and music-driven projects, bringing a strong design sensibility informed by years of hands-on experience across all stages of production. Recent work includes projects for Nissan, Old Spice,, KitchenAid, Doritos and Burger King, as well as music projects with artists such as Childish Gambino, John Mayer, and Rich Brian.
My background as a Leadman on large-scale productions—including the Academy Award–winning Everything Everywhere All at Once—has shaped my approach to leadership, problem-solving, and visual storytelling. I bring that foundation into my current work as a Production Designer, balancing creative ambition with practical execution.
My work has been featured in award-winning films and festival premieres, including Swiss Army Man, Clemency, and the Showtime documentary Sheryl. I am a member of the Art Directors Guild.
