David Charles Chioffi is the department head of Graphic Design, and Chair of Design Arts. A native New Englander, Chioffi's traditional and experimental work emphasizes the sensory triality of alphabetic matrices and forms: visual, auditory, and tactile, and principally, on how phonetic structures and visual architecture formulate and synthesize content. This is reflected in his presentation and direction of a new Bauhaus methodology within the systems of graphic design taught at the College.

Professor Chioffi begins his third year at Memphis College of Art as an adopted Memphian, and continues with his private design practice. Prior posts have included Executive Vice-President of Design and Communications, and Faculty Member at The Hospice Institute for Education, Training and Research, Inc., Branford, Connecticut; and, Associate Director of Packing Design and Visual Identities, Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation, New York City.
