I am Chad Steahly, a seasoned Video Editor and Motion Graphics Designer with 16+ years of experience working in marketing, video production, title design, and motion graphics. I studied film at Wright State University, and I bring that storytelling background to everything I make.
Located in Columbus, Ohio, I'm a Senior Video Editor & Motion Designer for Pearson, where I've been creating marketing, tutorial, and informational video content for customers in both the North American and European markets for over 16 years.
I've designed and edited 300+ videos that have generated 4,000,000+ lifetime views, including a 46% year-over-year increase in viewership in 2025.
In 2024, my video content brought Pearson 5,000+ new subscribers, a 96% like-to-dislike ratio, a 70% average percentage viewed, and over 3.8 million views that year across Pearson's educator and student YouTube channels.
Beyond Pearson, I create for the film and entertainment world: logo animations with an original piano score for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and a logo animation for 24/60 Film Productions. I also write, record, and produce my own music, including the 10-track album Universe Unknown and the EP Midnight. Sound. Exile., available on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and other major streaming services.

Praise for my work
“Chad is an artist with video. He is just so good at what he does, and he's also an absolute joy to work with, day in and day out. There's no doubt that he's a highly talented creative, but he's also very good at organization, monitoring, and follow-through. He is a wonderful, endlessly patient teacher, and he never seems to get stuck in defensiveness or ego-driven responses; his ability to problem-solve is never hampered by emotion, which makes him extraordinarily effective at it. He is endlessly curious and open to both subjective (e.g. psychological) and technical ideas and opportunities. He will also go waaaay out of his way to help a colleague, with genuine and unassuming generosity. The better I know Chad, the more impressed I am by the range of his gifts.” Pamela Mayne, Director of User Assistance, Pearson Education
