Hi, I’m Yael
With over a decade of experience, I lead video projects across the full process – from early pre-production and story development through hands-on direction and post-production. I work closely with teams to translate products, technology, and abstract concepts into videos people actually understand.
I stay hands-on through post-production, collaborating closely with editors, motion designers, and animators to shape structure, pacing, and tone through the final cut.
I come from a journalism background, which means I’m always looking for the angle, the question the audience is really asking, and the story that answers it.
My role is to help teams find the right story for their product, creatively and strategically.
I partner with marketing teams to turn complex products into clear, confident stories that drive real understanding and real decisions.
I’m not here just to produce videos — I’m here to help shape the message, sharpen the narrative, and align creative with strategy.
My background in journalism means I always look for the real question behind the brief — and the story that answers it.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with tech companies across different stages, navigating complex products, evolving strategies, and high-stake launches as a true creative partner.
