Naveen Chaubal was born and raised in a small town in Indiana to parents who emigrated from India. Throughout his schooling, he was on the path to become an engineer, but when his older brother decided to pursue dance and music at NYU, he started seriously thinking about the arts and film as a life path.

commercials. He looks forward to working as much as possible and traveling to all parts of the world. In 2018 he received the M.A. Hadley Prize in Visual Arts.

In 2013, she was the recipient of the inaugural M.A. Hadley Prize for Visual Arts, which supported the studio's research and development.
